desperately need help

(1/2) > >>

Unforgiven1:
I deleted the Linux partition on my desktop computer the other day and resized it so it would be a part of the windoze partition (Fedora has a memory leak or something) but I restarted it today, and grub appeared, but not normal graphical grub, grub .92 a command line version.  Now I can't get it to let me boot into windoze, (or any OS) anyone know how to either get rid of grub without being able to enter anything but the  Bios, or make it boot to windoze. It says it cant boot without the kernel being installed...any help? ASAP please

Stryker:
yeah
in your grub prompt something like this:

rootnoverify(hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot

Unforgiven1:
that didn't work  :(
is there a way other than tab to go to a new line?

BouncingAyatollah:
You deleted the grub "stages" and the config (which were most likely on the linux partition). If you just need to boot Winbloat (only) again boot with the Win rescue/boot floppy and do an install from the Win CD (*NOT* format and install, just install), this will overwrite grub with the normal Win MBR again.

Always keep a "something" you can boot with even if the MBR is cheesed handy, e.g. a Knoppix CD, a System Rescue CD, Win boot floppy, linux boot floppy - preferably (e) All of the above  

Unforgiven1:
that's exactly how I decided to fix it....lol
I'll have her fixed as soon as it finishes installing and I get treated like a criminal by M$ some more  :(
