Unistalled Linux and now Windows wont Boot
 
Hi all,

Ok I installed SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional today but I came across some serious problems with my new graphics cards. Seems that KDE wont launch becuase Linux cant launch it or something. Anyway I decided to unistall Linux until I can get the relevant drivers. Now when I try to boot back into windows my screen fills up with "01 01 01 01 01" thats all I get. If however I place my LILO boot floppy into my floppy drive and reboot I can then use YaST2 to select to boot up using windows.

Now when I installed Linux I made sure that I didnt overwrite the boot sector of my XP partition and made sure that I created a boot floppy. This worked fine but now for some reason XP just wont boot.

Does anyone know how I can sort this problem out. I can get into windows but I have to boot from my LILO floppy.

Thanks all

Boot from Windows boot disk and then run
fdisk /mbr
Should help.
