Re: OT: Want a new hard drive...
 

Please note that Grub in reality is a horrible program, I have ubuntu and windows on my tablet and I delete ubuntu but for some reason Grub crashed whenever I turn on the computer even if I don't try to boot into the Ubuntu installation that doesn't exist anymore... So I had to reinstall ubuntu just turn on my computer again and currently have no idea how to get rid of it without this happening again.

Deh! You remove GRUB and expect it to continue to function? It's stored on the Linux partition, you know. If you delete your C:\Windows directory do you expect windows to run? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

If you don't want Linux anymore you should run Windows install again and have it reset/rewrite the boot sector. Then you can remove your Linux partition with no problems because it won't be looking for the missing GRUB.

Yeah, unless you tell the GRUB installer to install into the MBR, it kind of depends on you not deleting it to function...

Run the fixmbr program from the windows CD's recovery console to get a new NT boot loader in the MBR.

For reference, you can screw up NT's boot loader by deleting it too. Try installing Win98 on your machine after installing XP. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
