Post by: Anonymous on August 23, 2001, 03:00:46 AM

Hi all, if anyone can help me out i would really really appreciate it. i had a virus and ended up trying to reformat my hard drive with partition magic, unfortunatly something went wrong so i tried to reformat with the linux mandrake tool, to cut a long story short, i now have linux mandrake on my system and nothing else, but i really want my windows back and it wont install, i try running the setup disk and it asks if i would like to erase these {mandrake} files i click yes then nothing happens, PPPPPPPPLEASE HELP ME.

If you have a boot disk, use fdisk to delete all partitions and start over.  This includes all non-dos partitions!
