To remove GRUB, boot with a Windows emergency boot disk and run the following command:
...or you can boot with the Windows installation CD and from the Recovery Console enter the following command:Code:fdisk /mbr
Doing either one of those should rewrite the MBR allowing you to reboot directly into Windows.Code:fixmbr
If neither of those options are available to you, try using the current version of the SuperGRUB LiveCD:

It's a small download and quick burn to CD, and it's a good tool for working with Linux, and/or Windows bootloader issues. Just follow the menu driven prompts for using it.oz
