Hi,
I had Mandrake installed on my second hard drive and I currently have Win XP on my main drive. I was forced to delete Mandrake and reformat the partition because I needed the space for other projects but when I boot up I am still getting the same boot screen asking me whether or not I want to load up Linux.
How can I get rid of this screen because its getting rather annoying?

fdisk /mbr
Or boot up your system using either Windows 95 or Windows 98 bootable disk (and if you don't have one, you can download one from the net. Use google to search for it!), and type the above command at the A:\> prompt then. That would do the trick.
