OK, firstly, thank you to all those offering helpful advice. Secondly, I apologise for the thread hijack, as it was bound to cause confusion, but as I was searching the forum for info, this is the threaed that seemed most relevant, so I thought tagging this onto the end might melp others in my situation. I presume that as I can now only boot into Windows, that editing the Grub.conf file is no longer an option? I don't really want to do anything too drastic as the system is basically stable as regards boot-up, it is just a bit annoying to have to wait while grub counts down. I do have access to an ISO of Mandrake Move, so presumably I need to burn this to CD, boot into Linux and then edit Grub, is this correct?, and yes I have deleted the Linux partition and reassigned that space to other partitions, have I basically burnt my boat regarding editing Grub.conf? I am running XP, so is the 98 disk really the one I want? Thanks again.

No, as XP was already installed, all I have is a reset to factory settings disk, (probably a Ghost disk), so this isn't an option. Is there no way just to disable Grub and delete the files?, reverting to the 'normal' Windows OS loader?

Hi, this is a slight thread hijack, although it may help others in my situation. I had made my Laptop dual boot with Fedora 9 and XP. It loaded up into either one, with WIndows as my default. I was using Grub Boot Loader. I have now given up on using Unix as it took ages to get the resolution right for my computer, and then I realised I was going to have to track down all the driver files for all the hardware and it just seemed like too much trouble, no wonder Windows is so popular. Anyway, as I now only have Windows on the system, I no longer want to open up into Grub and then wait 30 seconds before the OS loads, so how do I delete the Grub Boot Loader? Thanks for your help.
