I have a laptop which used to have Linux. After using the manufacturer's recovery disks to restore Windows XP, the machine will not boot. It talks about GRUB and Error 17.
Apparently this GRUB is a pest that needs to be killed with fdisk /mbr. But the recovery disk version of DOS does not contain FDISK or FORMAT or CHKDISK. So I made a CD from this site, with DOS 6.22. I set the computer to boot from the CD. This has no effect, still the machine talks GRUB.
So I physically removed the hard disk and booted with the CD. The computer does not boot from it. The computer knows it has a CD drive, but claims that the disk is not bootable.

Any solution?
