i had a xp ubuntu dual boot. I didnt need ubuntu so I opened disk manager,(on a mac, cant remember names) and i just right click the linux partition, which included a 8gb partition and a 800mb partition. so i right clicked each and clicked delete partition, so it then said unalocated partition. I proceeded to restart even though I wanted to add the space back to xp but didnt know how. and when I restarted I was greeted by a warm error 22. what the crap. what now? It better be simple... something allong the lines of live cd? idk.

Good job man.
Reinstall over that partition. It's the easiest solution. |

no fing way! I have spent a crap ton of time, modding, installing drivers, and I have a bunch of programs on there! And the files are backed up but I dont want to delete them(I do have them backed up)!
ANY other solution? How should i delete a partition in the future? also, I have no windows cd, and my brother hates linux. |

No, Grub is part of Linux. You have to remove Grub from Linux.
