Subject: [newbie] PartitionMagic won't
let me run windows
Sorry for making this so long, but I wanted to make
sure I included
all the details, so please take the time to read it :
I bought Mandrake Linux 7.0, which came with a
version of
PartitionMagic as part of the "extra's" cd. I installed
Partition and BootMagic on my NEW Windows 98 computer, then installed Linux.
I felt I
did not do the best job of installing Linux, so I decided
to delete the
partition I created. There was an option in the PartitionMagic
folder
to start a dos program that would delete my Linux partition.
I did so,
and when the computer re-booted the program came up,
and I followed the
directions to delete the partition. I assumed it
had worked, but when
the computer came up again, the partition was deleted
but it would go
into that same PartitionMagic dos program and give me
a window to click
ok that said "The Linux Parititon could not be deleted.
That operating
system partition was not found." When I click ok it reboots
and does
the same thing. WHAT SHOULD I DO???? I tried getting
fdisk, autoexec.bat and a few other things from a different win98 computer
and
putting them on a disk. I also did a sys a: from another
computer onto that disk and put them onto my new computer. This at leasts
puts me at a dos prompt. I tried typing fdisk/mbr at the c and the a prompts,
but the computer either doesn't recognize them or it doesn't change anything.
There is no windows directory at c, so I can't really run anything. People
have told me to get a win98 boot disk, but I don't have one / know how
to make one. What should I do ??? I can't run
windows, so I am really frustrated. If you've had this
problem before,
please give me a detailed solution.
THANKS, Sam
