Removing GRUB from windows system after uninstalling Ubuntu from Windows 7
I have installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 (no separate partitions, I selected inside windows option).
I want to uninstall Ubuntu but last time I tried it and the Ubuntu is released but the GRUB remains. How do I remove GRUB?

The link in this answer is broken.
Rescatux is now the way to go, or Boot-Repair.. This answer was on point when it was written, three and a half years ago. :)
Put windows 7 disk and boot from it.
Choose to repair windows now.
It will ask to repair, select yes. After restart if grub is still there, follow above step.
Select windows partition found by the recovery manager and click
NextNow choose startup repair.
This internally uses command
fixbootandfixmbr. You can google for more details.
