hi, please help. I had redhat 8, xp, and server 2003 on my computer. I messed up ,y partiotions with boot commander, I deleted the linux partition, so I left with xp and server 2003. At the start up the GRUB window comes in, something like (GRUB version blah blah, and then grub>) and since I dont know how to work with that I dont want to mess anything up even more. How do I remove grub, so I can get to the screen where I have to choose which windows I want to load..?? please help, I would really appreciate it.

Set your machine up to boot from your CD first (in bios) then boot with your Windows CD. Select "repair console", then at the command prompt, type "fixmbr" and answer yes to the prompt.
This will overwrite your MBR removing grub. Type "exit" and your system should reboot into windows.
