 Hello Yan Peng,

If you want to use only Windows 2000 on the computer, there is no need
for GRUB. You can repair or replace the master boot record of Windows
this way;

Boot the computer from the CD or floppies that you installed Windows
from, then enter Recovery Console. In Recovery Console, run  Fixmbr.

Then remove the CD and reboot. It should work, but if it does not, go
into Recovery Console again and run Fixboot.

More info on the Recovery COnsole in Win200 can be found at
