Removal of Linux

I am working on a computer that I installed Linux onto. It is dual booting Linux and Windows XP.
Is there a way to remove Linux without formatting the hard drive, or at least fool the computer into thinking there is no longer Linux installed.
I do have GParted available to format the partition where Linux is installed.
The main issue I forsee is the removal of GRUB. Can I just use the FIXMBR command to reinstalling the Windows bootloader?
Thanks for the help.

Not sure but when you boot the xp cd there should be a tool to do this.
Or you can repair your installation of xp.
Not sure if this is the quickest but it'll work.
Good luck
