Cant Boot Into Windows After Formatting HD
Okay, heres the scoop. I have 2 hard disks on my PC. on the primary, i put XP pro SP2 on it, and on the secondary HD, i put openSUSE 11 on it just to try it out before i sold my PC. i formatted the openSUSE disk (secondary) and tried to reboot into windows, and GRUB error 22 appeared, even though all the linux was installed on secondary, GRUB still tries to start. I even selected the primary as the main boot disk, and it still tried to launch GRUB. i cant boot to windows at all. Luckily, without completely erasing my windows disk, i have a PCLinuxOS live cd. Is there any way i can remove GRUB and boot windows?
Sorry for talking so much. |
