Removing Linux from MBR

[Jerome Henry]

Best is fixmbr command. lilo -u is also a great solution, but only if you did'nt modify your boot since linux install... and of course doesn't work with grub.
fixboot shouldn't be needed, as to be fixed is just your mbr, you do not need to re-set boot files to your C: (but doing so won't hurt !)

Let us know !... :]

... or you can re-install win2000... it will overwrite the MBR as if it was the only OS in that machine :-P (once this behaviour made me say #$@^!@$#!!!!)

0 points for me :-)

Hi hi hi !

Sounds a good solution, you can even remove your Linux partition with that system... only trouble is risk of data loss...

(who cares about data : assign 0 to this too, most important is the system you pay for, data don't matter that much...)

hi
i have used lilo -u successfully many times to remove LILO.

another option is fdisk /mbr from a win98 or below bootable disk.

Hi,
Thanks guys, I got your point...

I'm surprised -and pleased- that with the mention of partition magic in the original question, that no mention was made of Boot Magic. I believe that this utility still ships on the Partition Magic disk.

Yes, you can also use the suggestions mentioned here.
