Dear somebody

I am panicing, I had help to uninstall linux for a dual boot... Anyway, I got the computer back in GRUB mode... when I turn my computer on I have GRUB when I write

root

I get (hd0,0) empty...

Can somebody help me, I need to clear the harddisk and do a complete new installation.

Unfortunatly I do not have acces to any linux cd or floppys (not that I probbaly can read anyof those anyway...)

Please help me...

Get a diskfrom bootdisk.com (Win ME disks work well..)
boot off of it (change the bios config to boot off the floppy first)
And type in
fdisk /mbr
That will get rid of grub, next just type fdisk and make yourself a new paritition (your windows will still be there, unless you overwrote it, fdisk /mbr resets to the main windows bootloader)
