fdisk /mbr | | Member with 63 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2005 Experience: huh? Whats that :S | | Ok I majorly screwed up..
I deleted the partition which had linux, and I was using grub to multi load (windows me and fedora core 1)....and then I formatted it. Now when I load up it gives me the grub loader (command line). When I use the start up disk....and then go to a: and then to c:...and type win....it gives me a blue screen.(Dont remember then msg it give me, will post back in a day or two) | | Senior Member with 108 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Oz | | You will need your windows cd and just 'fixmbr' and you should be good to go. | | Member with 52 posts. | | |

#10 | You could reinstall Fedora and then choose not to install a MBR.
This would remove the MBR. | | Member with 63 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2005 Experience: huh? Whats that :S |

#15 | Ok here's the error
"While initializing device IFSMGR
The microsoft installable file system manager cannot find the helper driver. Please ensure that IFSHLP.sys has been installed. Sytem halted."
It also give some error before this ...something related to the registry and the cache. I tried using the registry restore but that didnt work. Any ideas? |  THIS THREAD HAS EXPIRED.
