does somebody know??? is it the linux, if it is how can i fix my mbr and delete linux WITHOUT the xp cd???

You need the XP CD to knowck off Linux. However, I dont think this is an issue with linux. Try running a repair install of XP and see if that resolves the issue...

xp cd needed to do a repair install !

oh, just that I heard you can fix the mbr with http://www.bootdisk.com ???? oh yeah im building my own pc soon and am getting an xp disk then, then can i fix mbr on this??? and what is repair install? will it delete all my files?

Never used the 6 disk not sure if they do allow you to do things like fix mbr, ,but downloaded the file to created them, something else to play with .
the wwwbootdisk link takes you here ,http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310994 , should be able to use the new xp to fix the mbr on you machine as long as it a full version xp and the same version as the one you have on the machine now.and not a recovery winxp disk .like the ones from Dell and other makers.
