So you had Windows<??> and dual booted with <??>Linux.
You installed XP THEN deleted Linux
Is this all right?
If so, then you probably removed the bootloader. Install
<??>Linux and the bootload should work again. Just don't remove Windows.
* Just hope that <??>Linux has a partition resizer or you left space for <??>Linux when installing XP.
Installing XP Pro Upgrade onto a dual boot system with Linux. Removed Linux but when XP reboots on screen is only the prompt for GRUB (a boot loader embedded in the Master Boot Record looking for linux as the default). How do I change the order in the MBR by way of GRUB so I can have a functioning XP OS (after which I will run Partition Magic and reinstall the Linux OS)?
