Deleting the Grub Bootloader

If you had a dual boot system say linux and windows. And you wanted to remove linux so you went into windows and deleted the linux partition over there. Next time you restart your windows you will end up in having an error message saying "Grub Error" may be as shown here.

Here is the fix for it.



Do you have Windows installed already? If so, boot from the CD, enter the recovery console (press R when it asks you whether you want to install windows etc.) When you're at the console, type:

fixmbr

and that will remove GRUB from your system.

If you don't have Windows installed, then do a fresh installation of windows. GRUB will be overwritten as part of the installation.
