Ok i know i was the one who posted this. But its okay, i found out how to do. Did it also and it worked perfectly. I did it from the Upgrade disk i had.
It is basically the same as Vista. Micrsoft has a Support page for this here.
Please not that you don't have to type Bootrec.exe and then choose options. You can just type Bootrec.exe/FixMbr
FixMbr is basically the thing you will be looking forward to. It will automatically detect any Windows and write a windows boot for it, deleting the previous one. (Over writing the Grub Loader)
You can then Use Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions utility in the windows 7 to delete and reclaimn the Linux drive/SWAP back. You do not need to use any Third Party Software to Partition Disk. Windows Utility is more than enough.
Here are some Steps if you dont want to go into the details on Micrsoft Website.
1. Put the Windows 7 installation/Upgrade disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer (set to boot from CD in BIOS).
2. Press a key when you are prompted.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer.
5. Click the operating system that you want to repair (Windows 7 in this case), and then click Next.
6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
7. Once in the command prompt, type exactly Bootrec.exe /FixMbr and then press ENTER. You will see "operation completed successfully." (Doesnt even take a second. Dont be alarmed )
8. Reboot and set BIOS to boot from the HDD again.
GRUB will be overwritten in step 7 and Windows bootloader will once again take control of loading your OS(s).
I have found online that you can use the Third Party software EasyBCD to also do this. However EasyBCD does not have official Support for Windows 7 yet. The BootFix you do from it will be of Windows Vista but it will work just fine. I however have a friend who did it and it just had one problem. The windows is loading page dissappears and instead of a Windows 7 loading, you will now see a Windows Vista Loading page with its bar. The windows 7 will load up normally though. Its just funny to look at it though.
