Boot from a Linux-based LiveCD and delete it from there. If the file is on an NTFS partition, you'll have to use a LiveCD that has NTFS write support enabled (such as the latest version of Ubuntu after following these steps).
[QUOTE="Gog"]When you install a second OS, the boot loader on your first drive is modified to take into account the other OS. You don't have to do anything.theragu40
Right, but the question is, can this be done on two separate drives, or does the GRUB only look at one drive?
It can be done on separate drives. That's how my computer is set up, actually (XP on one drive, Ubuntu on another). Â
[QUOTE="HostileEffect"]Put linux on it and make a Linux box... I did that with a P3 450Mhz computer. Just keep older computers even if you don't use them often. :P
P3 450Mhz, 64Mb, 32MB Voodoo 2 with a copy of Win98 can run Half-life, System Shock 2, Empire Earth, Unreal Tournament, etc. upgrade the memory, over clock the processor and you can run even more.vitomanez
Linux Box FTW
^Exactly. Slap a Linux distro on there (say, Xubuntu) and turn it into a file/print server and bittorrent box. Set it up right with a dynamic DNS service and SSH, and you could even make that file/print server accessible from anywhere in the world. Perfect if you travel a lot or want to set up some off-site backups for your files. ;)
