    Removing Grub

    HI,

    I just booted from a live cd and used gparted to nuke my ubuntu partitions and resize my xp partition to cover the whole drive. I had the laptop dual booted with windows xp. It worked fine but I need more space for school work. How do I remove grub and use the windows boot loader? When I restart and begin to boot the drive. It loads grub then stops and says error 22. Where normally it would give me the option to pick which OS I wanted to use. I figured since ubuntu was no longer on the driver grub wouldn't be either.

    So in short I just to get rid of grub so I can boot windows. If this won't work is my only option to format and reinstall?
