When RedHat installed GRUB as the boot loader, it put the menu.lst and the rest of the files on the Linux boot partition. When you removed the Linux partition from Win2k, you got rid of all the GRUB files too. The boot loader is still there - installed to your MBR - but it can't find the configuration files any more, so you get a command line instead. What you need to do is update the MBR on your hard drive to get rid of GRUB and give you the default boot loader, which will simply go to the active partition and start the OS it finds there. If you have no way of starting Win2k, you should try and use an emergency boot disk, or something like Partition Magic if you have it. Basically, anything with fdisk on it should work fine. Set the Win2k partition to "ACTIVE" and then type "fdisk /mbr" at a DOS command line prompt. You should also be able to do it with the Win2k CD, but I don't recall doing that so I can't describe the procedure.
