It is like this

*Hard Drive 1*
GRUB -- WINDOWS BOOTLOADER -- WINDOWS VISTA

*Hard Drive 2*

How do I nuke Ubuntu and grub leaving vista intact?

When you boot the vista CD, it detects the existing install and asks you if you wish to repair it etc, and gives the option to reinstall the vista boot loader, do this one.

Yikes, wheres my cd.


Its a vista upgrade cd for hp computers and there aint no option. There is a command line option can that help?
tried fdisk /mbr said command not recognized

The old Windows XP way of doing it was to boot the install disk, go to the recovery console, and run fixmbr. I don't know if this'll work for Vista.

You could borrow or obtain through some nefarious source a Vista disk since you won't be installing anything you wouldn't be violating the license (much).

There are some other disk tools that can restore a Windows bootloader. I think Ghost does it (don't quote me on that) and maybe others.
