I'm wondering if copying my OS hard drive with Windows XP would also copy the GNU Grub partition on it? I've done a fixmbr and that didn't remove it, still keeps booting into stupid GNU Grub command line instead of windows. This hard drive previously had Linux on it, I formatted it, then copied over my windowsxp install from another drive. Shows like this on HD Tune:
I'm guessing the 'unknown' partition is the GNU Grub part. If I copy this drive's contents into another new formatted HD, is it going to take GNU grub with it? Or should I just remove GNU Grub now? I read some suggestions but they didn't work, like /fixmbr and windows repair install; still getting the GNU Grub command line on bootup. Not sure if it's safe to remove that 'unknown' partition, or if there is another way to uninstall this.
