    Boot up off you windows xp CD, go to the recovery console and type 'fixmbr' at the command prompt. Then reboot...

    There are linux ways of doing this, but as you've deleted your Linux partitions it'll be more difficult.

    its a common problem. bootup from Windows 98 bootable floppy and type fdisk /mbr at prompt ( A:\> )
    you can download bootable floppy from www.bootdisk.com

    this is windows related question.
    okkk.... here we go......

    first of all create partitions. you can use bootable floppy ( fdisk ) or any LiveCD to do that. now boot up through bootable floppy and create a folder in C: drive. insert windows 98 / windows 95 CD and copy all the contents in that folder. 'cd' to folder and execute 'setup'.

    boot up from floppy. during boot up, read messages and note drive letter assigned to CD drive. on getting A:\> prompt, insert Windows 98/95 CD. execute this code at prompt...

    Code:
    C:
mkdir windows98
cd windows98
copy. E:\*
    replace E: with CD drive letter.
    eject CD and type 'setup' at prompt.
