Get rid of Linux dual boot

Last response: in Linux/Free BSD

I had a dual boot setup with Mandrake Linux and Windows 2000 on a backup computer. I put a new motherboard in there so I was going to reformat and just install Windows 2000 since I never used Linux. But now I cannot get rid of the Linux boot selecting screen. And since I already deleted all the partitions and reformatted, I cannot boot into Linux. I have no idea how to get rid of this and just boot into Windows 2000. Any ideas? Thanks.

just delete the MBR
start into dos prompt
and type "fdisk /mbr" without the ("")

then put in the win2000 cd, make sure you are booting from CD (in bios)

i hope this will help you out
let me know if you have any problems.
