Hi guys,

I have a quite strange problem. I had a system with Vista and Ubuntu installed. We always use Vista and Ubuntu was something we really did not need. BUT: to boot, GRUB was used (I guess grub2). Now, while being in Vista I cancelled the Ubuntu partition and with it also GRUB. Now the system does not boot anymore.

I tried to reinstall Ubuntu, but I had some problems with the CD.

At the moment, when the system boots I get into the GRUB shell. From there, I am able to boot Windows Vista with some commands like this ones:

grub>
title windows
rootnoverify (hd0,msdos3)
chainloader +1
boot

Now the question is: if I am able to boot in Windows Vista with this trick, is it possible to fix the MBR from inside the installed windows Vista with some command/tool of Vista itself?

I shall probably mention that we are not interested in double boot at the moment. We only want Vista to start.

I can sum up the question like this: is there a way to fix the MBR from the installed version on Windows Vista, considering that GRUB is at the moment installed?

I hope I was clear enough.

Thanks for your help.
