I just bought a brand new computer with nothing on it. I want to have it dual boot with Windows 95 and Linux Mandrake 7.1. Anyways, I installed Mandrake and everything was fine till I realized in my excitement that I should have installed windows 95 first. So I deleted the linux partitions as root and left the FAT 32 for windows. When I rebooted Linux was gone like it was supposed to be but Grub was left. I can't access my Windows CD to install windows and I can't chainload or access DOS cause there was nothing on there to begin with. I basically want to start all over with nothing on my box. HELP!

Hey,
I had the same problem. This is what i did. boot from the dosbootdisk. And then type "fdisk /mbr" without the quotes. I hope it helps. If it does not work or need more help let me know.
and you should get a message "No Operating System..."
