How to edit MBR in Windows XP ?

[sco1984]

I have IBM Thinkpad R50e-1834-EQ1

Problem : Using dual boot OS ( Windows XP Pro & Linux Slackware )
I want to keep only Windows XP .
Current boot loader is LILO
I just want only Windows XP now
How to do ?

Method i know is

Go to Disk management >
> Delete Linux partition
> Modify MBR ( At this point i am not sure if loads Windows MBR )
> Once i tried but result was
= When machine rebooted it said Linux boot loader missing ....

Second method which i know is it possible to do this ?

> Insert Windows XP Pro CD in to CD Rom
> Run Win xp setup
> Press R to Repair
> Log on by command prompt
> Fix MBR by the specific command
> Reboot machine
> Rmove the CD ( Pls tell me the exact command step by step if this method is useful )

Can it work?

Please give me perfect solution. I can't afford if my Windows
crashes. And i am using Laptop cant remove hard disk to take huge backup..Ha!

Waiting for reply,
Regards,
Amey.

If you have a USB floppy and a Windows 98 boot disk, boot the disk and run fdisk /mbr. This will restore the mbr and allow Windows to boot.
