Exclamation Got into trouble with partitioning!! HELP!


Ok i had red hat linux 9 and windows xp dual booting on my computer but decided linux was taking to much space for me at this time(i was going to get a sep comp for it) so i used partition magic to delete the linux partitions and put the memory with my xp(which i thought was prolly a bad idea, but i didnt listen) and now when i boot i get the grub(the dual booter program i was using) and its just a black command promt of grub. How do i get it to boot into xp/ get rid of grub!!! plz help me, i need that comp and dont want to lose the data on that one, quick response much appreciated!!!

Boot from your XP cd and choose "fixmbr" and/or "fixboot" when you access the recovery console.
