Here is a simple solution to uninstall or delete Linux completely and safely. Requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7 startup disk or Windows XP(verified with XP only) bootable floppy . Steps to be followed 1. Boot your Windows XP/Vista/7. 2. Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management (UAC or User Account Control in Vista/7) 3. Go to Disk Management under “Storage” 4. Select your Hard Disk and then the Linux partition. [Delete the Linux partition this will delete Linux as well as grub.] 6. Now reboot your system with Windows XP/Vista/7 start up disc or floppy and type the command “fixmbr”. 7.
