Deleted Linux Partition

I installed Linux Mint on a separate partition on my hard drive. After a couple of days my windows partition would chkdsk every start up and frequently BSOD. I got ahead of my self and did something stupid, I deleted my Linux partition in windows. When I restarted, I got GRUB ERROR 22. I looked around on some forums and some guy said to boot into a Linux live cd and run this command, "sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr", maybee my second mistake. Now it says BOOTMGR is missing. Now what should I do?

Re: Deleted Linux Partition

grub is searching for Linux OS but it does not fined it becoz you have deleted Linux.If you do not want to use Linux then repair the Windows with bootable CD and FIXMBR & FIXBOOT. I hope windows will boot after completion of this steps.

Good Luck.
