Hi, I installed Linux...

[tcairns]

If you are starting again, don't forget the wealth of info you can find with a quick search...

No, what I want is to deactivate the Linux partitions

Then I could boot straight in Windows

[kriss]

Just use cfdisk, fdisk, partition magic etc to do that..

[tcairns]

Hi, Yeah
I did that

But grub still loads on bootup even when I uninstalled RH9!!


Help me please

[kriss]

Try the fixmbr utility at the XP cd..

[tcairns]

Yeah, it works now



What I'm going to do is actually build a new box and attach it to my network so, I suppose it would be easier to do that.

I'll tell you when it is fixed

Edit: Doh! Can't run XP cd

Then grab a win9x floppy and run "fdisk /mbr"
(More than one way to skin a cat!)

[tcairns]

OK. I'll try that now

[tcairns]

Sorry for bump.

I did the mbr thing

What do I do to get XP on?
re-install?

[XavierSAO]

Hmm. that should have done it. You can do a re-install on XP, without formating the drive, and not lose anything.

Have you tried F8 at boot, and go in on safe mode or command prompt? I know XP has the "fix mbr" command, but can't remember where they put it

2 Ant chance XP is running in FAT32, you could browse the drive from a 98 boot (dir fix mbr /s)
