How to re-write MBR but keep WIN XP and all programs installed

by lracolta . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I have a pc that has 2 HDD: in first is running Linux(suse9.1)and on second is running win Xp.

the pc is booting a grub made under linux from where I choose linux or win.

but now I want to give up linux because I don’t use it anymore and use that hdd in other porpuse.

THE PROBLEM starts here. the MBR is made under linux and on the HDD on which is winXp installed I have only one partition.

So, I want to have in my PC only the HDD with win Xp O.S. and to modified the mbr in order to start booting win xp.

Very important: in WIN i have a lots of programs allready installeed and I don’t have kits of them. I don’t want to lose the winXP and all others programs.

Thanks
