Well, it's a long story!!!
I started trying to install Woody (see "Starting up.." thread a couple of weeks ago) - found Woody wouldn't recognize my Intel 845 video chipset. Switched to "vesa" but that would only give me 640x480 display.
So I decided to upgrade to Sarge - set up another Linux partition, booted up Sarge - it wouldn't detect my network (ethernet) connection. Several tries to fix that - no joy. But after failing to establish a network connection, I went on with the install, and Sarge installed Grub. That was fine - Grub detected my primary OS (Windows XP), and I set that to be the default boot option.
Then, as one does when playing with Linux, I went stark staring bonkers, and decide to try Gentoo - a friend told me it was much easier to install. Rather than make yet another partition, I wiped the Sarge partition and installed Gentoo there, from a CD. That went OK, but also failed to detect my ethernet card. So it's back to Windows to go online to find out what to do next - URGGGH - Grub failed, of course - I had wiped out menu.lst when I deleted Sarge. So I couldn't get into Windows, or online with Gentoo.....
Now I want to remove Grub - it has gone and installed itself in my MBR, and I don't know how to get it out. Any help?
