How to remove dual boot/lilo from PC

I screwed up. I wanted to install LXDE on a second hard drive (first drive windows7) for testing/investigating and did not want to interfere with Windows. I wanted to be able to use F8 to change boot order to boot to the second drive. I installed LXDE on the second drive from the live CD not knowing it would set up a dual boot condition. I should have disconnected the C: drive. I want to take that second drive out and put it into another computer for the garage but now the computer will not boot without the second dive installed. How do I remove Linux and the LILO boot screen and return to a normal single drive Windows default boot?

First install Grub to the MBR of the second disk, then
take it out, and use a Win disc to repair the MBR on the first disk.
