Default Go from dual boot to single boot?

I have both windows and linux and due to size constraints and for the sake of being reasonable, I want to get rid of linux (lol irob was right) so I can add more music to upload to my ipod. How do I reformat it this way without losing my files on the master drive? I used to know how to do this...

Delete the Linux partition(s) (you set up a swap, right?), and then use Partiton Magic or similar to resize the Windows partition to include the empty space that was on the Linux partition.

It's not that hard.

Ah, the computer boots a linux bootloader, not a windows bootloader, it uses GRUB, and now that linux is gone, I get an error from the bootloader.

Where can I get a windows bootloader and how do I install it?
