Removing the C:\boot will free up some disk space, but will not remove the grub boot hook. I suppose that the grubinstall.exe writes into the boot sectors. You should probalby have look at: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3311 , and/or try
1) Boot w/ win98 boot floppy, at the a: propmt enter: fdisk /mbr
2)Boot w/ XP or WIN2k cd into recovery mode and run: fixmbr

No. You have to start grub and run the installer to do it, or an other installer program as grubinstall.exe. BTW, I do not use stage1 and stage2 since they are already part of both the grldr and grub.exe I have been talking about in my zip and setup.

Let me asnwer my question first, then could you tell me whether I am right or wrong? Thanks.
3. It definetly can set the "home" to hda1 which is a NTFS partition before the Japanese kernel has the ntfs.o built-in. After boot to knoppix, it is must to mount the partition /dev/hda1 as captive-NTFS, then the user can read/write/modify the content of "home". However, it isn't a safe way to modify NTFS partition because captive use the MS NTFS driver which isn't stable for Linux.
I did not try it yet, and I would be very carefull with that. Try it on a test system, not a corporate computer. As I understand it, ntfs read only is the default after a knoppix boot and is totally safe. This linux driver cannot be easily used and is not safe to use for write access. For that reason people use the capture script and the linux read only driver to look for the MS drivers into the nt partition and then use these MS drivers to write into the ntfs partition.
So, I may be wrong, but I think that since you may want to have write access into your home directory, you would need at boot time to: first use the linux ntfs driver and the capture script to get the MS drivers and then remount the ntfs partition in rw mode and finally mount the /home/knoppix directory from the knoppix.img being into that ntfs partition. This can be done, but ... YAKA (just do it...)
