Re: How do I remove Windows 7 from my dual boot option?
You'll need a USB CD/DVD drive and a retail (or OEM) Windows XP Home disk. Using that you can repair the master boot record through the recovery console. I don't think you can use the Toshiba recovery disk the computer comes with to do this.

If you don't have an XP disk you can always run the recovery disk, but make sure you back up your data first if you do. It will reset everything to factory settings, so you'd lose any unsaved data.
