Changing master boot record

[buttonpusher69]

I'm going to remove Linux from my main system which is setup as a dual boot with XP.

The issue is that I've lost my notes on what the steps that are needed to correct the boot record.

I have searched the forums and I think the steps would be as follows:

1. boot from floppy drive to A:

2. issue command format c: /MBR

3. then enter command fixMBR c:

Please correct what I have so I can get thing correct the first time and don't have to do a major reload.

Thanks,

EasyBCD 1.7 Might be what you need.

Instead of a dual boot you could use VirtualBox instead.

Techimo's new linking system seems to come in handy.

I was able to change that boot record using the recovery console with the XP CD. Once in Recovery Console, I used FIXMBR. It put the MBR back to the original settings before I started with Linux.

Keymaker, I'm going to mark this topic to reference when I try to setup Linux on one of the PC's that I'm setting up now.

Thanks for the suggestions.
