Hi, I want to remove ubuntu from the external disk drive where I've installed it and install it alongside windows on my main drive but the worst problem is that I can't iniciate my computer without the external drive plugged in because the grub bootloader is installed in it and I can't install it to my main hard drive...:(...what can I do?

Thanks in advance

Delete the partition, boot up with your Windows CD, go into "Recovery Mode" and type :
fixmbr. That'll allow you to boot Windows.
