Linux And Windows Clash
OK I have 2 hard drives, I once used C: drive for windows (pro) and F: drive for my games, untill came the day I wanted to install Linux, so I realized that could install it on my F: drive, so I put linux on my F: drive (It's Fedora Core 3 (better known as red hat)) and everything worked fine untill the next day when I tryed to boot it from windows, It took 30 whole minutes! AND I cant access most internet ports!! I cant even use firefox! I HAVE to use IE! I decided to reformat my F: drive and see if it helped, but I just remebered I forget how to format drives, if anyone knows how to reformat a drive or a fix to this PLEASE FEEL 100% free to post it!

You will also need to fix the master boot record because I think the machine will still be looking for the linux on F drive
to fix the MBR use a Win98 bootdisk
fdisk /mbr
to fix XP you may be able to use your XP disc and repair

Thank you VERY much, just one question, what is GRUB? I remeber reading it in Linux For Dummies, but I forgot and my friend is borrowing my book. After I uninstalled linux it was still booting from the F: drive and it booted into this thing called GRUB GUI, Except it wasnt GUI it was command line.
