Does anyone know how to remove bootloader ( F1/F5 ) after removing PCBSD?

the xp method: insert your winxp disk, go to the repair console and type "fixmbr"

Depends upon the O/S you still have there (or the one with which you replace it.

If you had Windows XP in another partition, then the answer given above was correct. If you have a different situation, let us know what it is, as it varies with the remaining (or soon to be installed) O/S.

Then the original reply was correct, fixmbr works for 2K as well.

LOL. I read that as "I'm from Austrailia..." and thought of the various commercials here in the US for Foster Lager, how to speak Austrailian.

As I said once to Dean_Fry, you native German speakers write our language better than many people born in the US. On the other hand, if you poke around these forums, you'll see my feeble attempts at your language, though the German speakers here have urged me to keep trying--no doubt because it makes them laugh. :)
