Hello All;

I need some direction with a problem I'm having with my laptop.

I had it setup to dual boot into Win2k and FC2. I hadn't used the linux partition for a while and needed the extra space to move some files off of a external drive. I clobbered the linux partition from within windows and reformatted it to an NTFS partition so I could move the files. The problem is that I believe it whacked something that grub needs to boot. After I rebooted my laptop, all I get is the grub commandline [GRUB>]. I would like to just boot into windows so I can transfer the files over to another PC. Then I would like to just remove grub all together if possible and just boot directly into windows.Or is there a way I can rebuild the files grub needs to boot and have them on the windows partition?

Can anyone out there lend a hand?

I do have a live-cd of knoppix booted and it does see all of my files on both partitions if that helps.


I'm a little inexperienced with grub and very rusty with linux so any help would be great!

Thanks,

You could use your Windows rescue CD to fixmbr or an old dos boot disk to fdisk /mbr to restore the Windows Bootloader. If you need a boot disk, they're all over the web or google the "Ultimate Boot CD"...

That did the trick!

I can't believe that I didn't think of that!!

Thanks again,
