I have a WinXP / RH 7.2 dual boot machine. I don't use the Linux anymore, but am stuck with the Linux boot menu right now. I want to go back to the XP booting by itself so that I can recapture my HD space and reformat with NTFS.

How can I do this? I did this under Win9X with the boot disk and typing sys c: at the a: prompt, but I don't have any WinXP boot disks right now (can't figure out how to make them), and what would the procedure be then to recapture the WinXP boot?

Thanks

Boot off of the XP cd, select the restore/fix option (whatever its called), type something like FIXMBR. Do a search, this has been answered plenty of times and I may have gotten it wrong.
