laptop dual booting winxp and linux. deleted linux partitions, stuck in grub...

[MATTRESS]

i have almost zero linux knowledge. i used it a little for wardriving, and now I wanted to get rid of it, i didn't use it anymore.

Under winXP, i deleted the linux partitions. on my next reboot, i'm stuck on a black screen with a grub> prompt

what do i do from here? later on i'm gonna try booting off winxp cd and doing a format /mbr or fixboot to see if that works

thanks for any suggestions

boot off the windows xp disk and do the recovery console option then do



fixmbr
as described here

or you can download and configure another boot loader if you want to have a choice between some other os

of if you have a starndard ms-dos boot disk with fdisk on it than simply run fdisk /mbr
