I dont have any experience regarding Linux... so any help would be deeply appreciated. is there any way i can make changes to the MBR to boot to the OPERATING SYSTEM CHOICE menu as we do in the case of Windows NT or XP? or what if i format and delete the linux partition, is there a way i can restore my system to the Windows dual boot system, and then install linux in a way that it is not the default OS for my system. >Plz help asap bcoz i need my computer up and running... its kinda emergency.
