Clean Linux uninstall

[Tabula Rasa]

After all the asking around about how to install linux, i am forced to uninstall it.

my logic tels me that if i delete the linux partitions using FDISK than linux will go away. the only thing i'm not sure about is grub.

do i need to uninstall grub (if i do, how do i do that???) first or can i just FDISK away and grub will disappear on its own leaving only WindowsXP to boot?

Delete the partition with FDISK ... then type:
fdisk /mbr

That easy!

There's probably a better method that what i'm about to suggest but its worked for me in the past .....

You can fdisk the linux partitions away, this will be easiest if you wish to re-format them in FAT/NTFS, if you wish to install linux again, you should format them.

as for grub try "fdisk /mbr" this will wipe the master boot record basically doing the same as an fdisk to a HD, but instead clearing off grub.
