Hey all. I'm in need of a win 98 boot disk apparently but I can't use floppy disks. I'm wondering if a bootable cd will work. I tried using my win 98 install disc as well as win xp bootable discs and nothing works so far.
Back story. I'm trying to uninstall linux from my dual booted laptop. (ubuntu and winxp) I followed these instructions and I'm stuck at 6 obviously:
So I deleted the partition and when I boot up it says grub has an error (error 17). I put in a cd and it says it doesn't recognize it. Not sure I have the right cd. The cd drive is first on the boot list btw. I can't seem to do anything on it now besides go into setup. Please help. I don't even know how I can reinstall windows like this or do anything if it won't read discs. :/

1. Boot up in Windows xp.
2. Start>>control panel>>administrative tools>>computer management
3. Go to disk management under “storage”
4. Select your hard disk and then the linux partition.
5. Delete the linux partition this will delete linux and grub.
6. Now reboot your laptop with windows 98 start up disc or floppy and type the command “fixmbr” .
7. Above command will repair ur bootloader and rewrite ntldr which will replace corrupted grub.
8.Thats it done now boot your laptop or desktop normally it will be booted by default in windows xp.
