Fwd: Installing a new Hard drive

[Don Benesch]

I'm not sure if you received my question regarding de-activating Grub so that I 
can install an new hard drive, so I'm resending it.
I hope you can help, as I spelled out in my message that I would like to remove 
the old drive and still boot to windows so that I can install the new drive and 
load Linux with Grub as the boot loader.
Thanks
Don
