Removing GRUB, Linux help please

[OJX]

So I want to remove Linux mint and GRUB and keep the Windows XP on my netbook. I found a solution to do it, but I need someone who understands linux to decipher this for me. I am a complete noob, so far I know that I have to log into terminal and do su - username in order to log in as root. The rest is lost on me.

You can do it under linx:

0. log in as a root
1. install lilo (if you do not have)
2. create a dummy lilo.conf

like this:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=dos

other=/dev/hda1
label=dos

install lilo to MBR
lilo -M /dev/sda -b /dev/shd
and uninstall
lilo -U -M /dev/sda /b /dev/sda

If XP is your 1st partition, use MBRfix to overwrite the master boot record back to the windows version. Must be run from command prompt.

Now you can delete the linux partition, and extend your windows one.

Hey man thats really useful, except I need some help

How do you run the program from CMD?
And then, do I just fix MBR?

[SugarJ]

Start Windows XP.
Click Start. Click Run. Type cmd.
cd \locationofmbrfixfile (i.e. \downloads or wherever you put it)
mbrfix /drive 0 fixmbr (this is for xp, add /vista flag to redo vista MBR)
reboot.
Delete Linux partitions.
