Messed up mbr and loader.

[TheVrolok]

Just reformatted my linux ext2 partition from windows and then restarted. Grub booted up to the prompt with no choices, wasn't sure what to do so I booted from the Linux cd and am currently reinstalling so that hopefully LILO will fix it. Couldn't boot from the 2k CD.. got to the Boot from CD: and then nothing happened.. Will reinstalling linux fix it? If not, any ideas?

you have to remove the mbr. fdisk /mbr will remove the boot loader.

I think grub reads files off of that ext2 partition you formatted (I could be wrong; I don't use grub).

At the very least, "fdisk /mbr" from DOS should put your MBR back to pre-Linux days.
