reaper44,

dont worry, i have tried this method (RedHat 8.0 and grub boot loader) and once the linux partition is gone (before you get rid of the boot loader) you computer just sits at the boot loader whatever you do.

besides, the other method you changed to mine, was that you re-install windows, instead of using the repair console to repair the mbr. my way it takes less that 2 secs for each command and your way it could take hour or two to reinstall, even repair.

plus strange things happen. my network neighbourhood disappears and you cannot connect via modem. some progs dont run cause of registry damage and you will loose settings.

trust me, when it comes to cruch time you will be glad you had this lil tut.
