Help With Grub

manny80 · 08-13-2003, 07:03 AM

I had XP and Linux 8 loaded on my laptop.

I had to remove linux to make more room on my hard drive.

Instead of uninstalling linux from within linux, I used Partition Magic from within XP and just deleted the linux partions, reformated, and merged the partions. Now when I boot up my computer, I get a grub interface.

grub>

How do I get past this, I don't know how to make it load XP, and how do I get rid of grub without linux installed??

Please any help

cheers

boot from the bootable floppy to Windows and 'fdisk /MBR'.
