i tried it and still have the windows boot manager when my HDD boot :( instead of having "system not found" (which is the typicall message when boot sector is not found in windows)
any other idea than "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1" ? i also tried with bs=512, but still not successfull :(

Hi,
i formatted my HDD where before i had windows 7 installed, in order to
install new fedora 18.
however after fedora installation, HDD does not boot on grub but still
on former windows boot manager.
How ca i do to REALLY remove this stupid windows 7 boot manager ?
thx
Make sure you don't delete data you do not want to lose. You do have a backup of your important data right?
Regards,
Patrick
