    Bye all,
    I try on my Aspire 5720 the mbrwrwin procedure because I do cancel the grub dual-boot.
    When I type "mbrwrwin.exe install rtmbr2.bin" vista give me this error:
    "Fail to create physical HD0 reason 51" and grub remain on boot.
    Anyone can help me?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Try starting Vista in safe mode with command prompt (F8) then run mbrwrwin install rtmbr.bin and it should work. You do need to be able to extract mbrwrwin.exe and rtmbr.bin from the hidden partition which you can do by backing up the partition with Acronis and then extracting the files from the backup. Hope this helps.
