Grub remains after uninstal - Help!
 

Hello there.

I installed FC3 in a dual boot setup with windows xp a couple of months back. I decide to uninstall due to space limitations and followed the instructions ----linuxquestions.org/questions/history/289310 in order to uninstall. However, after rebooting it appears the grub is still in place and all i can get is a command prompt. How can i get back to the standard booter with just windows XP? I have no knowledge in using Linux command lines so lots of help would be appreciated. I just hope i dont have to format.

Thanks alot guys.

You can also boot windows using the commands

rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot

Assuming your setup is simple.

XJDenton: You just need to rewrite the master boot record (MBR). Don’t panic, it’s easy to fix.

Boot from the XP installation CD and after a minute or so of loading, select “repair” when you are given the options to “install”, “repair” or “quit”. "Repair" eventually takes you to a DOS-like command line (i.e., the Recovery Console). Then run “fixmbr” (i.e., fix the mbr) and exit. Everything should be fine when you reboot.

If you have a FAT16 or FAT32 partition on the hard disk, you can also boot using a Win95/98/ME Boot Disk and run “fdisk /mbr” from the command line. This does not work if you only have NTFS partitions.

Hope that helps.

Thanks alot guys, it worked :)
