The following command will completly wipe out any boot loaders.
It will not insert a new valid boot loader, but at leat it will
remove Grub :)
Boot with a linux boot disk or CD and run the following command:
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1"
I always tought the complete mbr was 512 bytes long ? But whatever that will do the job or erasing it beyond normal readibility!

Very important, write command exactly as stated above.
Note that "/dev/hda" assumes that the disk is primary master.
