You have to run fixmbr. I have done this on my machine. It worked.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Removing Linux Grub
I was installing Linux openSUSE 11.3 on my computer and set it up with boot
loader Grub so I could also install Windows XP Home Edition. After
installing both systems and getting them to Dual Boot I upgraded Windows XP
to SP3 and then it crashed. I decided that I shouldn't put Linux on the same
hard drive. I reformatted the drive with Paragon Partition Manager 11. I
had bought a new 1.0 TB drive and put Windows XP on it and want to use the
drive that I had put Linux on as a backup drive partitioned it as a extended
drive and formatted NTFS.
The problem that I get now when I boot the Grub comes up with message:
GRUB loading stage 1.5
Grub loading, please wait
Error 22
The computer then freezes. If I do a cold boot 3 times the the Grub message
is gone and it boots directly into Windows. Since my backup drive is almost
empty I would like to get rid of the GRUB problem on it.
Also sometimes when booting Windows loads to the point where the mouse
pointer will freeze. I'm running Bitdefender Total Security 2011.
Is this 2 problems or is Grub causing this on the second drive? I looked on
the internet to see if I could find a solution but couldn't find a solution.
