I recently removed both my Linux and Vista partition as I need to restore my laptop to Factory settings. For some reason I can't reinstall Vista (from the recovery "Tech Guys" partiton) however.
I need to either hide GRUB or remove it, so when the laptop boots it attempts (without any evidence of Linux) to open the Windows Partition (and so boots into Vista recovery).
All the tutorials I have found require Linux or Windows to be installed (My Ubuntu live cd refuses to open X now).
Any tips?
Thanks
edit: I tried # dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 with a live cd but it has no effect.
