Solve : Removing GRUB?

Answer»

Last year when I first found out about Linux and started to look into getting myself a copy, I'm sure I read somewhere that once Linux is installed on a computer the GRUB Boot-Loader can't be removed.

So I was wondering if it's true?
If I install Linux and DECIDE I was to switch back to Windows is it a guarantee I will be able to remove the GRUB?Any software change you MAKE on a computer can be undone, period. I can guarantee you that GRUB can be removed. Actually the mere act of reinstalling Windows will remove GRUB because Windows will install its own boot loader.Thanks!Getting windows to re-install the MBR will remove GRUB.

Search the forums here, cos I REMEMBER someone telling me that FIXMBR has to be run from the recovery disk or something.Quote from: banjo67xxx on September 02, 2007, 04:35:33 PM

That isn't necessary if you install windows, windows will always install its bootloader. Fixmbr is needed if you have windows and Linux installed in a dual boot situation and want to remove grub.
