there is more to do...
make a startdiskette with me
search for the program FDISK.EXE in the whole ME path and copy it in the root from this diskette
Boot your machine with this disk, you MUST have the DOS-prompt => A:
type in FDISK /MBR and reboot (there is blank behind the "K"), ready , no more boot menu ...
What have we done?
XP will modify the bootsector from the harddisk and will install a little program there, the bootloader. You can not delete this file because in this case your machine would not boot anymore. But we can overwrite this with the boot loader from ME. This will do the FDISK /MBR (MasterBootRecord).
