At that point just type [b]1[/b] or the single number associated with the installation you would like to work on,then press Enter.
It will then prompt you for the Administrator's password,if there is no password simply press Enter.
If there is a password and you entered it correctly you will now be presented with a [b]C:\Windows>[/b] prompt.
At the prompt type [b]FIXMBR[/b] then press Enter
Then type [b]EXIT[/b] then press Enter

Okay this is what I did, I've been running XP. Well I went ahead & partitioned the drive so I could install OpenSuSe.... Well every time the PC starts you have to select which operating system you want to run... Well I finally needed the space I partitioned for windows. So there goes me, Mr I never unistalled Linux before... I used my Partition 9 to gain back all the HD space & it removed the Linux obviously... Well I go to boot up the laptop & it starts loading the screen were you select you OS... well it stopps at an

"Error 22"....
& stays at a black screen other than saying error 22...
So my question is...

"How do I get back into XP???"
& remove the Grub???
Help...
