Hi All:
In order to try to solve my previous problem (see the
posting below), I decided to delete my Fedora
partition by using the program Partition Magic. My
goal was after deleting the linux partition, reformat
it, and reinstall Fedora. However, after the deleting
process (and rebooting it to Windows), all I got was a
GRUB propmt:
grub>_
This way, I cannot go back to Windows in order to
recreate the linux partition. I also cannot either
reinstall Fedora or restore Windows as it was when I
bought the machine.
Could anyone, please, let me know how could I solve
this issue?
Thanks!

For XP, you need to boot the XP CD, pick the recovery console,
and run fixmbr. For older versions of Windows, you need a DOS
prompt and run "fdisk /mbr". The problem is that you have deleted
the Grub second stage loader. So you will need to install the
default Windows boot loader to get Windows to boot.
