I had windows XP on my C:\ and fedora on my D:\. I decided I did not like it so deleted the D: partition using partition magic from Windows. This happend fine.

My problem is now when i turn my pc on, it should boot to windows XP on my C:\ . Instead I now get a grub command point.

How do i get back into windows, then how do i solve my problem of booting.

Boot with a Windows XP CD and let setup load
When it finally loads, select the recovery console
Login to the local drive with an admin password
Type FIXMBR
Type FIXBOOT

I believe those are the only two commands you will need

Type HELP to see all of the commands available.

Thankyou for that, I have done that now and it is sorted.

I'm sorry to hear that you've dropped Fedora.

Maybe you'll return some time in the future. It took me a couple of attempts to get my head around it.

I hope you decide to give linux another go some time in the near future. Remember, linux is a power users dream! (IMHO).
