problem with getting rid of linux

[kyle1234567890]

I used partition magic to get rid of the linux partition on my hard drive because I didnt want linux anymore. The version of linux was redhat 9 and it had the GRUB bootloader. Now whenever I restart, i get into this command line type grub and I dont know what to do to get into windows again. Please Help!

Boot from the XP CD, and enter the recovery console by pressing R at the first prompt to do so.
Then try the folowing commands:

fixboot
fixmbr

:( well I cant find my XP cd anywhere, so is there another way to do it or can I just borrow the cd from a friend? Also, will doing this harm any of my data on the computer?

[pave_spectre]

Any XP cd will do the job and it shouldnt affect any data stored on the drive.

Ok, Ill just look for my cd one more time or borrow one from a friend. Thanks for your help

I wonder if a win98 boot disk and the DOS command fdisk_/mbr would do the trick? (Underscore denotes a space)

[kyle1234567890]

Well, I dont have a floppy drive on my computer, and my other computer doesnt have a CD burner, so I dont think that I can get the boot disk to my computer. If the windows 98 installation disk would work then I might be able to find it...

Fdisk would work if it were on a FAT32 partition...if it is a NTFS nope,

[kyle1234567890]

Yeah its NTFS, so fdisk wouldn't work so Ill just get the XP install disk tomorrow and see how that works.
