Hi All,
 
I have a friend who has given up trying to learn linux (his loss) and
who now wants to uninstall Red Hat 7.3 and install a fresh version of
Windows XP, which is a really, REALLY bad idea if you ask me....
 
I, myself, have never done a RH uninstall before (who would?) and so I
turn to you for advice.  He said he'd just fdisk the drive but I think
he'll have to unload GRUB first.  Am I right in making this assumption? 
Or is there something else he has to do?
 
Any and all advice is GREATLY appreciated.
