My laptop just sucks for Linux support I guess. I deleted the install partitions and remerged them to my windows XP partition using Partition Magic. All is well there. I just need to know how to get rid of grub? I still have the boot menu, I'd just like it to boot xp again with no questions asked.

How do I do that?

Get into DOS somehow. Find a Windows 98 startup disk or something (if it has a floppy drive), or you might be able to use the Recovery Console off of the XP startup disk. Type in this command at the DOS prompt:

"FDISK /mbr" (without the quotes)

Reboot, and bingo.

Boot off a DOS disk and run fdisk /mbr or boot into the XP recovery console and run fixmbr and that will reset the Master boot record to a clean one that will allow you to boot directly into the active partition, in this case XP. :)
