Hi

I have a small problem with my computer and I would really appreciate
any help. The problem is I have a computer with linux and win2000. I
needed more space for windows and I deleted the linux partition from
windows. The problem is I do not know where the lilo was. So I am not
sure if I reboot the computer is going to start in windows or simply  is
going to crash. does anyone know how can I be sure to point the mbr to
windows before I reboot or any suggestion?
Thanks in advance
David
P.S:please could you send your answer also to dav25id@hotmail.com?

- Boot the machine with a Win98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com
- Run this command:  fdisk /mbr

When you next reboot, the Master Boot Record will launch the
Windows 2000 boot loader, provided that it is located on the
first active partition of the primary master disk.
