WinXP & RedHat co-existence nightmare.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

 

I tried to install RedHat on a separate hard drive on my machine, and use the Grub loader to choose between Windows and Linux, but it completely screwed up WinXP and it wouldn’t boot no matter what I did.

 

I had to reinstall windows, but the only disk I had was a restore CD (Not the original OS CD). I did that and it seemed to fix the problem, but now WinXP is taking literally hours to install anything.

 

I have decided to temprorily remove RedHat from the computer. But I can seem to get rid of the Grub loader. I have removed the second hard drive that Linux is on, and I have re-partitioned and formatted the primary hard drive that the Grub loader and windows XP is on. But when I load the machine I get a Grub loader error. I have no earthly idea how the hell it can still be on the hard drive when I re-partitioned and formatted it.

 

Can anyone tell me how to remove the Grub loader from the hard drive so that I can have a completely clean WinXP machine?

 

Thanks.
