Hey,

Im trying to install Xp home upgrade edition after removing Linux. The problem is that it keeps giving me: error loading operating system when i boot up after a certain point in the installation. I think this is because there is still the linux boot loader left over even though i deleted the partinon with linux on it.

My question is how do i remove the linux boot loader. FDISK was mentioned to me but i have no idea what or how to do this.

Anyhelp would be appreciated thanks

Once the partitions have been removed, you can overwrite the LILO boot loader in the master boot record by booting from a DOS/Win98 boot floppy and giving the command "fdisk /mbr".
