I have Linux loaded dual boot with the Grub Boot Manager presently working fine.
Problem is, I’m donating IBM G43 to Church and they don’t need any Linux onboard.
Second problem is I can’t locate the OEM disk that came with the recycled computer; Running XP Pro SR3.
Where can I find and how can I fix the Master Boot File, please.
