hey guys im so frustrated please help...
i installed Ubuntu and eventually got tired of it. i couldnt figure out how to uninstall it, so i booted up into XP and deleted the partion that Ubuntu was on. so now when i restarted it wouldnt let me get past my BIOS because the GRUB bootloader gives me an error (obviously because the partion that Ubuntu is deleted). so now im stuck. i tried putting in my XP cd and used repair console but it asks me for my administrative password... not sure what that is, so i typed in my normal password and it didnt work, so i tryed it again, and no go. typed in "admin" and it didnt work. and it said since i tried 3 times it has to reboot.... dammit, so it just rebooted and its sitting there on the BIOS screen saying "GRUB error 17"... and im on my laptop typing this... so what is a poor old college boy to do?????
