You might try booting from you Windows XP CD, run the recovery console, a type the command FIXMBR or FIXBOOT, or both. If you only formatted your linux partition this should work.

Try using a windows startup disk and do fdisk /mbr.

Ah..i solved problem for some times,i installed back Fedora,so its got boot loader,but if anyone know how to uninstall linux properly id apreciate help,because i could use some disk space that linux is taking up right now (and i dont even use it)

There is certainly a way to do it from Windows, but since I don't personally use windows, I can't give you an accurate answer. Search this website and I am sure you'll get detailed info on how to do this.

Depends How you used PM (Partition Magic) IF you DELETED windows partition and created a new linux partition and formatted it ... then Windows XP is history ...
