hi. i had a dual boot sys with red hat 8.0 and win xp.
i deleted the linux partition and now i get a boot loader error from linux. what do i have to do so i can boot windows normally. is there a file i can easliy edit. i need this answer in a hurry and it cant be like re-format the hdd cause this needs to be done ASAP. thanks for your help in advance
If you're using win9x then boot off a floppy and type fdisk /mbr. If you use win2k/xp, boot off the cd and go into the recovery console. Once at the prompt type "fixboot" and "fixmbr" in that order without the quotes.

Can't you reset your LILO somewhere, so that he will reboot and aout goes to xp ?
Greetz,
Just to heave some advice, Do not think formatting the drive would fix the problem.... (it'll still be there.... unless you low-level)
Do what is mentioned above, or look at my tutorial: link
