I did a bad, bad thing, and I'm hoping that someone can help me with it.
I used Partition Commander to wipe out the Mandrake 9.1 partition on my secondary's machine's hard drive, then gave all of the free space to Windows [not to worry; it's a gaming machine. My primary box is still blissfully MS-free. ;) ].
The problem is that now Windows won't boot. I didn't restore my Windows bootloader beforehand, and when I try to do so now (the only way I know how, from the utility provided by the Mandrake 9.1 installation CD), I can only get so far in the process before Mandrake setup stops being able to read from the CD-ROM drive. So when I turn on the machine, I get this:
grub>
I have no idea what do do with that. And without a /boot/grub/menu.lst, grub has no idea, either. I've been through all the help that grub provides, and none of it suggests an obvious solution.
Is there any hope of fixing this, so that I can boot Windows-- as installed --on that drive? Or am I facing a reinstall here? Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks very much in advance.
