just bought a laptop from someone and it has linux on it. If left alone, the computer boots up and starts "back track".
I am trying to install XP on the laptop and take off linux. I can not get the XP disk to run on start up. I have changed the boot order to cd. The disk starts up and then does nothing. Any ideas? Someone suggested deleting data in the mbr file. I cant get to that file. I have also tried the delpart.exe from ".microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt31/i386/reskit.exe"
this does not run either.
ANY IDEAS??? Please help. Thank you
