    uninstalling debian

    Hi, I had a dual boot on my dell mini inspiron for win xp and linux debian.
    Due to some issue with windows, I needed to reinstall it and remove debian.
    From within debian's inbuilt GParted, I deleted the partition containing windows, and now my system will not load any bootable CD (whether winXp or Gparted live cd). Everytime I restart the system with a bootable Cd, it still takes me into debian automatically.
    Can someone please tell me how to reformat my hard drive by deleting linux partitions and re-install winxp from bootable cd.

    Hi and Welcome !

    Machine is booting up from Hard disk. Set CD/DVD Drive as First Boot Device in BIOS.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
