help undo dual boot to lindows

[lblauen]

I made a partition for lindows to do some testing. It installed great and works fine. Now I want to remove lindows but it setup a boot menu. How do I get the boot menu to go away and boot straight into windowsxp like it used to do? I read some where somethng about fdisk /mbf Is this what I need to do to restore the boot record? I'm lost here. Please help. Thanks.

I have never tried it with your setup but the way to get rid of the Linux boot menu was to format the "mbr".

Is lindows still installed? Do you know if you're using Lilo or Grub for the bootloader?

Sorry don't know. And yes lindows is still installed.

Assuming lilo, follow this

You can boot from startup floppy disks or CD-ROM, choose repair option during setup, and run Recovery Console. When you are logged on, you can run FIXMBR command to fix MBR.

What this will do is rewrite the MBR, thus removing the linux boot record and putting just the windows record in place. I have done this myself with my laptop and it worked fine.
