I had Windows XP initially on my Acer TravelMate Laptop. Then I installed FC4 with GRUB on the D:\ drive that was in windows. Then by mistake, I formatted the partition into a FAT32 from Windows. After I rebooted my computer, I found that I could not get into Windows as GRUB freezes (I don't even get a GRUB prompt). I can't reinstall my MBR as I can't get into BIOS to change the options. As I have a laptop, I can't boot from a floppy. I can't change the first boot device to CD-ROM from HDD. What can I do? Is there any method to disable GRUB or bypass GRUB? Please HELP

(and please don't suggest keys like DEL or F10 or F1 or F12 or Esc+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace etc ) I've already tried all that.

Please suggest something that will terminate GRUB.

Hmmmm, have you tried booting off of Knoppix and fixing the Grub files from there?

I'll try that.
