There are two harddisks in my computer. one with WinXP and another with Redhat. because there is something wrong with the hardisk for Redhat I try to remove this harddisk from my pc. But there is an error message which says can't find grub loader when I try to run WinXp. How can I remove grub loader without uninstalling redhat from this harddisk?
