Reinstalling WIndows XP Bootloader

[jparsons]

How can I reinstall the Windows XP Boot loader. My laptop currentl dool boots linux and windows. I'm using Lilo as my bootloader. I'm removing linux from my laptop so I need to reinstall the windows boot loader. fdisk is missing from XP so I assume there is a new way Jared jparsons@jparsons.org www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte477n

Can you install just the bootloader? The best way it just to remove Lilo and it should default back to the XP bootloader. In fact, I think that's the only thing I learned how to do in Linux ;)

Boot from your XP CD, go into the recovery console and run fixmbr. There is some other fix* program you may have to run as well. HTH.

I wouldn't think that would work. Lilo currently occupies the MBR. If I remove it from Linux then I will probably end up with the dreaded LI screen. Jared jparsons@jparsons.org www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte477n

That's how I got XP to boot back using Mandrake 9.X just simply removed Lilo..There may be a restore previous flag I'm not sure but I do know thats how I did it.
