My sis and I were running windows XP and linux redhat 7.0 (dual boot) on a 900Mhz, 20 Gb machine.
Since I wanted to change to suse, I told my sister to uninstall redhat . what does she do- she goes to Partition magic, deletes the Linux partition and frees the unallocated memory to the windows partition. She also converts the XP partition (that was holding XP), into a primary partition. she left the boot section and the windows partition. Restart.
The lilo prompt is there. Of course trying to boot into linux generates an error. What foxes me is why I cannot access load windows. I suspect the conversion into primary partition but I need help on how to correct this. If possible.
thanks in advance.
(I have read most of the past posts and couldn't come up with much on this subject).

P.S. There was a warning that the xp partition conversion can make the partition unbootable.
