unistall Grub - LinuxQuestions.org
A few months back I had I was in the process of removing Fedora off my desktop box and wanting to install Ubuntu. I ended up unistalling all my operating systems at the time since I was dual booting with XP and Fedora 8 but I ran into a slight mishap. I ended up having a computer with no OS which endlessly loaded Grub with 2 entries to nonexisting blocks. Low and behold I Googled removing Grub and came across this very simple fix which instantaneosly worked. This should work not only for removal of Grub but other bootloader such as LILO.

What a situation to be in! I had to mess with the MBR (master boot record) in the past also because I booted with a floppy with a virus, and it wiped out my MBR and the partition info on that drive! I knew all the info was there so after months of leaving it as it was I found a DIY Recover kit on the web that I was eventually able to use to rebuild the partition info. In the end I got everything back! It was quite an episode in geekdom lol
