I am going to sell one of my pcs and I need to uninstall Mandrake. I had it partitioned with windows 98 and I went into fdisk and deleted my linux partition and used a old version of partition magic to restore all of my hard drive space for windows. But now when I turn it on I get a dos looking GRUB screen and I cant boot up windows. How do I uninstall GRUB? Please respond ASAP.
P.S. I also formatted my drive too but that did not help :mad:

Geeeeeewiz. You and another 6 billion other people as the same question about how to get rid of Lilo or Grub. Grab a boot disk and boot into dos. Then type fdisk /mbr or fdisk mbr, not sure which, but it will delete your master boot record and get rid of grub/lilo

LOL!!!!!!! Before I came here to check if there were any replies I got my win 98 boot disks and fdisked the mbr just like you said. It worked and now I feel like a complete moron.
