bootscreen doesnt get deleted
I have recently installed mandrake Linux 10.1 on my laptop.I have a 60 GB harddisk on which i already have wondows xp sp-2 running.I made my hard disk into 3 partitions --c:,d:,e:--30,15,15.so i installed this mandrake linux 10.1 on E drive.after that i wanted to remove that so i installed the mandrake cd1 and deleted the partition and made it into windows ntfs partition and restarted my system.luckily i got my E drive back in windows xp BUT BUT since i used DUAL boot the linux bootscreen still pop ups and i have to scroll down and click "windows" option for my windows to boot up everytime .Idont know how to remove that linux bootscreen.I also formatted my E drive but of no use what should i do?

Put in your XP install cd and boot from it, go to the repair console, (the f key I think, correct me if I am wrong), and type
Code:fixmbr
