    boot with a win98 startup disk. at the A: prompt (providing you used either linux bootloader) type "fdisk /mbr"

    then you can boot back into xp and use disk management to format whatever drive you installed linux if you chose a seperate one.
    My signature really sucks

    Next time boot the XP CD go into rescue mode and at the console run fixmbr -- not a good idea to be fiddling with Linux if you have a shaky grasp of computer/Windows basics such as disk setup and boot loaders -you could easily have lost your data
