That is *vastly* more complicated. He's already blown away all prior
partitions, and restored Windows. Yet he can't boot Windows because of this 440
bytes of grub remnant. By removing just those 440 bytes, his problem should be
fixed. He can't re-install grub. He can install a fresh grub, but he'd need a
Windows binary to do that. Grub2 doesn't install itself like old grub did.
