am i to assume you have linux installed, and windows on a seperate partition,

are you using grub to offer a os menu on boot up, if so what does your grub.conf file look like
 
i once had xp installed and linux on another partition. Then i got rid of linux and changed that partition to a logical drive. And i have no idea what the grub is it just popped up for the first time ever...

nope dont got floppy.

Click to expand...

Grub a the linux boot loader..
If your using the old linux drive as a logical you could blow it out and reformat it so that should get ride of any linux things.
 
uh...virus that says grub loading?

ok i know what's wrong.

I deleted the linux partition without ever tellling grub that it's gone. So now grub is searching for ubuntu even though its not there anymore.

Now anyone know how to fix it? PLEASE HELP!!
