Folks, hope you can help me out.
Since I'm selling my old dual boot thinkpad as a XP-only machine, I
tried to wipe out my Suse partitions using Partition Magic within XP. I
got no errors with Partition Magic, however now when I try to boot all
I get is a broken GRUB (blank screen with "grub") and I can't boot XP.

I'm due to deliver the computer tomorrow! How do I fix this?

thanks a lot.

Boot from WinXP CD in recovery console and use "fixmbr" command (I may have
misspelled name, check help output).
