Hello,
I have a hard disk with WIN XP and Red-hat on seperate partitions of course. I've just deleted all the linux partitions (with "Partition magic"), then I can't upload the WIN XP . After the reboot, it recognize all the devices, then writing "GRUB", then halt...

How can I fix it, or delete this GRUB?

Thanx!!!
 

Boot from the XP CD and reinstall the boot loader??

thanx for your reply, but how to reinstall the boot loader?
 
the old method was to somehow get into windows, get a dos prompt and fdisk /mbr. This might still work.
If you have a windoze boot diskette, it probably has fdisk on it.
 
thanx for both of you!
I've already fixed it 2 days ago, it's fdisk /mbr indeed!

thanx anyway!
