| 438622 | 2006-03-16 10:00:00 | I want to delete the linux partition on my parent's 80 gig hard drive so I can make an image of the 20 gig drive in my spare computer, replace it with the 80 gig & make it my parents' new computer. Activating windows was a real pain in the ass so I don't want to do a clean install again. Problem is, if I delete the linux partition, the MBR will be trying to load GRUB from a partition that is no longer there. How do I make the mbr point directly to windows again? I was going to use the spare 60 gig hard drive I had lying around, but I can only get 10 gig maximum continuous usable space between bad sectors :( |

Login as Administrator then issue the command FIXMBR and then restart the computer and the Windows MBR should be restored, and should boot directly to Windows. Cheers, KK |
