Re: How to format screwed-up hard drive and reinstall OS.

Thank you for your kind reply. But I am quite a  Linux newbie, and don't know how to repair grub. Can you pls give me  more explanation, or give me a pointer.
  
  Thanks, in advance.

Hi,
  
  I have a dual-boot system (WinXP & Linux), but during further  partitioning, for some reason it got really hosed up. Now I lost access  to Linux, and I can only boot to WinXP from GRUB. So, I need to format  the hard drive and reinstall Windows, but the reinstallation method  provided by Dell (my computer manufacturer) doesn't work on the  machine. Where can I find help for formatting screwed-up hard drive and  reinstalling Windows?
  
  Thanks for your help, in advance.
