Removing Fedora Core from dualboot

[cheetahman]

When deleteing Fedora Core from the dual boot with Windows XP which uses the GRUB bootloader in the mbr.Would I have to run fixmbr on Windows XP to make it boot

[Icarus]

yes, fixmbr will make Windows handle the boot processes again

[cheetahman]

but is it absolutely necessary

If you don't want to use GRUB anymore, yes.. otherwise you won't be able to boot anything.

Depending on the implementation of the Grub really.

If you get a Grub prompt you can boot any system. That means any Dos, Windows, Linux, BSd, Solaris and even Darwin x86.

The catch is you have to type 2 to 3 lines to boot each system manually.
