Currently Dual-Booting with Vista Home Premium. Need to get rid of
Ubuntu 10.
And I don't have a Windows Disc, so don't suggest formatting Ubuntu
partition in Windows and then repairing my Windows mbr. Is there any
way to get rid of GRUB?

hi

you could just format the Ubuntu partition using the Windows disk management tool. Haven't done it myself but there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

If you simply format the partition.. you will end up erasing the grub and wont be able to boot on to windows as well.. 

Be sure you have a windows bootable disk/pendrive before you format it the ubuntu partition.. after that you will need to boot once with the windows bootable disk, and fix the master boot record.... its a quick enough procedure, you can follow this or this.
