    Grub & Boot Windows

    Currently I have a view and I hated windows being put back ubuntu (and what I had with xp). The problem is that the grub is eaten with the boot of windows and the question is, can you load the grub and get the boot (aka mbr) of windows when you want to back off ubuntu?

    And incidentally know if ubuntu is any problem with hearing, which was xp with pearls.

    There is one. Exe if you do not have the disk or do not want to restart windows.
    MbrFix.exe

    Code:
    C: \> MbrFix / 0 drive fixmbr / yes

    I caught the last Ubuntu and that can be installed from the windows and uninstall it without touching a thing. So I now urge the club to use it, too easy.
