Question How to remove Linux boot entry?

Help me... I installed mandrake Linux 9.1 a week ago. I installed it without using Partition magic, so in the end, everytime I boot my computer, mandrake linux OS choice will be shown up, even though I have formatted the linux partition. help me please... :1zhelp:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hmm, currently I'm running winxp. But here I face another problem: my xp is a set of pre-installed from the Acer hardware. I couldn use it to enter recovery console. Could i use the method for win98 instead? how do I make a bootable diskette from XP?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If someone knows more about this than I do, feel free to correct me.

As to how to get the Recovery Console, go here, and grab the floppies it talks about (you need six in total). They should contain Recovery Console capability.
not to forget that I dont even know the administrator password -_-;. recently I borrowed my friend xp cd, entering the recovery console... and damn, I'm stucked with the password prompt.

Currently I'm running fat32 for my windows system disk. it's possible to use the win98 method isn it? (the DOS way)

Double Post:
case closed. all problem fixed. thx a lot guys!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
