How to Remove Ubuntu Netbook Remix Without Windows CD and Restore Windows MBR

I ran across the issue the other day with my netbook. I wanted to remove Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but deleting the Linux partition would cause GRUB, the bootloader, to cause errors. GRUB is usually removed by using a Windows Operating System Install CD and running commands through a special prompt. However, since netbooks don’t have CD drives, this was an issue. Sure, I could have done something through a USB flash drive or even through a USB external DVD/CD drive, but no, I found an even easier way to do it. You can restore your MBR without any devices needed and you don’t even have to restart your computer. I added this information to the Review: Ubuntu Netbook Remix, as well as informaton on how to delete the Linux partition on a dual boot Windows-Linux environment. Hope it helps!
