MS-Windows used to have an undocumented switch "fdisk /mbr" which would remap the MBR and erase any copy of lilo or grub present. I don't know if they still have that option.Undocumented?
Yes, it didn't appear in any of their regular help sources, at least not back when I used to touch MS-Windows.
The command above works pre-XP. For XP, it is fixmbr and/or fixboot.. For Vista and Seven, it is bootrec /fixmbr and/or bootrec /rebuildbcd.
