How to remove a unix boot partition ?
Hi group member,
I'm as new as a newbie can get on Unix, so bear with me .
I just got a task of installing NT on a box that had some sort of unix on it. Once I reboot, i always get a Grub> screen and I dont' know how to get rid of it. Just relying on the nt install parition
don't seem to be able to get rid of it.
I'm a NT,NOVELL, cisco kind of guy. so nothing on UNIX.
thanks all
