    [SOLVED] Removed Fedora, now won't boot

    I have an old HP desktop that was dual booted with WinXP and an up to date Fedora. The machine is pretty limited, so I wanted to try a light distro to see if I could speed things up.

    Here is how I caused my problem: I booted with a live CD and used gparted to re-build and re-format all of my partitions while leaving only the XP partitions alone. Now I am assuming I have caused a problem with grub as my machine will not boot at all - not even into XP which still should be fully operational. Hopefully there is just a grub start up file on my XP partition that is not happy without Fedora installed.

    Any help?

    Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise.

    Hmm... Looks good. I hope the program works better than the Wiki. I'll have to use it sans instructions since the wiki site appears to be down... We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the link.
