fdisk /mbr

From the DOS disk (you need the fdisk.exe utility though...dunno if it comes in all windows distros)

For a fdisk version, in case you dont have, or just google for it

After you get windows back in the MBR, then use any parition utility like partition magic to delete the Linux partition (shame on you ), or if you have a fast internet connection, download Hirens Boot CD, its like 30 Mb, and it contains -among a lot of useful stuff- a version of fdisk, and many partition managers, and its an ISO you can burn into a CD, very handy in situations like this

I like www.bootdisk.com myself. You can get a Win98 boot disk.

If the DOS bootdisk you created was done with XP, IMO it is worthless.

When you get the bootdisk, the command you will ned is

fdisk /mbr

You can also boot with your XP install CD, go to the Recovery Console, and type FIXMBR
