I had mandrake linux 7.1 installed and it didn't work out so I deleated the linux and swap partition and **** with Fdisk. Then I installed win2k and when I turn on the computer it boots with Grub Boot and I can't do jack from there. Please help me!

Use a windows boot disk to boot. Then type 'fdisk /mbr'. That should remove GRUB.

Boot up with a Windows bootdisk and at the A: prompt, type "fdisk /mbr" without the quote of course. Hit enter and Grub should be removed from your master boot record.

Then install windows2k, should be ok after that, if I understand your problem right.

if "fdisk /mbr" doesn't work (it should)

then try this partition program, it is better at removing linux and ntfs partitions than fdisk
