hi,

i have windows xp installed. Recently i installed suse linux and afterwhich suse linux is the main OS to be booted up. However suse rovide options to boot windows 1 (window xp) during boot up.

If i uninstall suse linux (i've tried), windows won't be able to be booted up as the grub master boot will be corrupted.

my question is: is there a software tool which can be booted on cd to modify the master boot record so as to reduce much effort??
