Post by: CrAz3D on December 22, 2006, 08:17:44 PM

I created 3 partions (1 for fedora, 1 for ubuntu, 1 for a linux swap)

I just tried to format them to NTFS from ext3 to clear them off so I can readd it all back to main drive.

after windows tried that it wont boot any furhter than this grub loader.

It just goes from the main screen (with esc for boot order & f0 for setup) then flashes "grub> _"
I can enter commands, but dont know how to use this at all.

suggetsions?

fixmbr

(Run that in a repair command prompt on the Windows XP CD.)

Or reinstall Windows XP, and it'll automatically replace your bootloader.

You can use a downloaded XP disc. If your laptop came with XP installed, it'll have the CD-Key on a sticker somewhere on the bottom of it.

Yes, but don't post torrent links on this forum. Also, your title sucks, so I renamed it... kinda.

To prevent any legal issues if they ever came up? It's more of a just-in-case thing then a "HOLY CRAPZ M$ IS AFTER MEZ1!!1!"
