removing linux and putting xp back on

[marie]

I've put linux on as a dual boot when i had windows xp a
million times when i had my laptop. i never had a problem
with it.

I put mandrake on my dell computer because it has a game i
want called frozen bubble. i selected the proper
configuration and for some reason it wouldn't let me boot
into anything other than mandrake. so i took red hat, and
put that on JUST the linux partition hoping that maybe it
was just mandrake. well, now it's nothing but red hat.

HOW DO I GET WINDOWS XP BACK ON!

I did fdisk and deleted the non-dos partitions (usually it
doesnt say just non-dos so i thought this was strange).
All i want at this point, is just to put xp home back on
my dell pc.

please help!

Boot from the XP cd, format the partition and install.
