"SuSE Boot Menu" Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by KGmaster88 Dec 31, 2005 6:33AM PST

I have windows XP on my computer.
few days ago,I installed Linux SuSE Professional then I wanted to remove it,So I used ''Norton PartitionMagic'' and deleted the partitions which contain SuSE then I formated unallocated space with FAT32.Everything is OK.
The problem is when the computer starts up,the boot menu (that lets me to choose between XP and SuSe)still appears.
Note: the boot menu which appears is ''Linux SuSe boot menu'' not ''Windows boot menu''.

Just asking.
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Dec 31, 2005 7:18AM PST

Why did you do that (procedure)? If I wanted to go to XP, I would boot the XP CD, and take its offers to partition (remove all and create some) and it would install as much as Microsoft supplies.

Your method is a new one for me. Who documented that method?

The Partitions isn't the Problem!

I already had had Windows XP on the computer befor I installed Linux.
why should I use XP CD to "remove all partions and creat some"?
I deleted only the partitions which contain Linux.
Evreything is all right, I just want to remove "Linux Boot Menu" that still appears after removing Linux.

You didn't answer my question.

Your procedure is very odd. Where did you find it?

Try FIXMBR. Hint: google.com

Thank You very much,"fixmbr" has worked.
but I would like to answer your question:
Earlier,I didn't find that procedure in anywhere,I invented it.I just thought the Linux will be removed if I deleted the partitions which contain it.
Later,while I was looking for an answer to my problem, I found the exactly procedure on help.com
