How to remove GRUB and restore the Windows bootloader

Obtain a bootable Windows XP/2003 CD, and use it to boot.
Wait through all the Bill-messages until you get the first prompt. Choose R to repair an existing installation.
It will search and prompt the Windows installation, showing :

choose 1, and it will ask for the Admin password. If you have one enter it or just press Enter.
C:\WINDOWS>
Now, type
