Deleting the linux boot options

I have two hard drives in my PC. The primary hard drive (hda) is installed with Windows XP and the slave hard drive (hdb) is installed with Suse Linux Professional 9.3. I have finished using Linux so I took out the slave hard drive so I could continue using Windows as normal. My problem is that Linux has installed some boot settings on my primary Windows drive to direct my computer to the slave drive where I have the option to select Windows or Linux. I need to restore my boot options on my Windows drive so I can continue using it without needing to have my secondary hard drive installed.

How can I go about this?

you could try putting your xp cd in and booting it...and then when it gets to the screen for installing windows or repair, go into the repair console and try typing "fixboot" and then restart to see if that fixes it, if not repeat the process and type "fixmbr" then restart.
