You mean the "F1 prompt" is garbled? You could, technically, remove the
loader but I don't think there's a tool for it; you can replace it with
something else, or mark the partition non-active. In any case you'll
need to boot from a live / fixit CD, then either use fdisk, boot0cfg or
some other way (I had nice experiences with sysutils/extipl) to replace
the boot loader.
