Grub loads...then computer restarts

I probably could have made the title more clear, but...

I just wiped my laptop that had WinXP and SuSE Linux installed as I only want windows now. So the grub menu came up at startup with the default being windows. Now, I used the original restore cds to wipe the entire drive(selected all partitions), yet all the computer does when starting up is start to show the grub menu then the computer just restarts. Basically, all that comes up is something like "grub loading..." *restart* and the cycle goes on.

What can I do to solve this as I am in quite a bind, expecting to leave the province and the computer(my mom's) behind...hopefully working. I still have the SuSE dvd, bootable linux, etc. if that helps.

Thanks
