If you remove grub, how do you plan to boot linux.

man grub
modify /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst depending on version.

Here is an example to change default linux to windows.

change default 0
to default x

where x is the number of "title"s - 1 for the system you want as default.

Example:
title linux
title failsafe
title windows
title floppy

If windows is the the third title, set default 2

Next boot should boot windows.

The file I copied from Linux to W2K won't boot? If you don't install
GRUB, you can only boot from diskette and not from W2K?

You will have to use
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search
to see how to boot linux from Windows, unless someone jumps in here
whith the steps. I do not do windows.

I always install linux boot loader into the mbr.
