It seems you're getting a lot of help with the MBR, but that isn't what you're looking for. You have/had Linux on there and want to install Windows over it instead.
As far as I know, you just have to boot from the Windows install disc and it will be more than happy to just take over the hard disk regardless of whether or not your MBR or partition tables are clear. In your case, you said that instead of booting from the Windows installer disc, you saw a GRUB message instead of the Windows bootup. That would indicate to me that your BIOS is set to boot from the hard disk before the CD-ROM. So clearing your MBR will probably make the BIOS try and boot from the hard disk, fail, and then boot from the CD-ROM. But you may find it a whole lot easier to tell your BIOS to look to the CD-ROM first. -N _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
