i'm getting ready sell acer apsire 1 netbook. had ubuntu netbook edition on it. needed remove sell it.

went on disk manager on xp partition. deleted ubuntu partitions. ran fixmbr.exe file got site http://www.ambience.sk/fdisk-master-...ilo-fixmbr.php.

after went acer erecovery manager (since netbook doesn't have cd drive comes recovery partition) selected restore factory conditions , rebooted normal during restore. when started couldn't find boot to.
(error: no such partition. grub rescue>) error when try boot computer up.
how can booting windows xp home.

it looks grub still installed on mbr.

livecd, , assuming windows partition still has boot flag , on sda, try installing lilo , running these commands. don't run others , disregard lilo configuration messages afterward.
code:
sudo apt-get install lilo sudo lilo -m /dev/sda mbr
this should point mbr windows installation. if boot files still intact, should return boot windows bootloader.
