Problem thankfully has been fixed, but let me explain a bit more now that my nerves have healed.

This was operating as a dual boot WinXP/RedHat 9 fine, untill I decided to take another linux distro called lycoris. During install I choose to repartition, and I deleted the existing linux partitons from redhat, and let lycoris use them. It installed and rebooted my system where the grub asked me which system to boot. I choose lycoris, and this is when I had a power glitch, the lights flickered and my speakers went funny.

I decided it might be a faulty distro so I would forget about it and go back to a single boot XP system for now untill I put redhat back.

But this grub was bothering me, so I tryed removeing it with xp's fixmbr and this only seemed to make the situation worse. it would still stop on grub and this time selecting my xp, it was very slow, only later to find out my brurner was freezeing the system.

Somehow after creating a new partiton using XP's built in partition manager, It must have made it so C was nolonger the active partiton, so now I had nothing, and no way to get to a command prompt to fdisk anything.

So I moved my hard drive to my second machine, and in fdisk just before i was about to delete my partition i seen the option set as active. Takeing my drive back to the master computer amazingly now grub disapeared, and I was back to my single boot XP machine again

Well am I ever glad I will live another day.
