Hi all, I had enough fiddling around and know my limitations. I've installed XBMC on Windows 7 and its great. Now, how do I get rid of the Live install and get my partition back? Any ideas?
Cheers, Rich

Sorry for questions but not a linux person one little bit. Just want it to boot straight into windows now where I can put xbmc into the started. Currently live gets the priority at boot. Thanks
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot

Simply delete and/or reformat the partitions containing XBMC Live.
Depending on where grub is installed Windows will start or not - if not, just boot from the Windows-Setup-DVD and do
andCode:bootrec /fixmbr
from the recovery console. This will bring Windows boot sector back.Code:bootrec /fixboot
You can of course also do this to get rid of the grub menu in case Windows starts after deletion of the XBMC Live partitions.
