Hi all,

Here is some background information before I state the problem:

1 x 80GB Hard Drive, 3 Partitions, XP, Vista & 2003 Server.

That was all working fine.

I added a second hard drive to my machine, a 6GB drive and installed Ubuntu on it.

After the reboot my machine would not start, I get a GRUB Error 21.
I removed the 6GB disk from my machine but I am still getting the GRUB error.

I have looked at my partitions using Partition Magic and all is fine.

I want to get my machine back to how it was before I started the Ubuntu installation.

How do I overcome this? Is there a way to remove this GRUB system?

I really don't want to rebuild my machine!!

Thanks.

 
Hi all,

Please don't waste your time replying as I have just resolved the issue myself!!

I used the recovery console and repair my Master Boot Record and fixboot and after that all was fine!

Thanks.
