Please, if anyone can deliver a speedy response to this -

While fiddling with my new Compaq F750 and putting in a Hardy Heron and Vista dual boot, THEN removing the Ubuntu OS, all I can get on startup is the GRUB loading screen, then it just says error.

So is there a way from commant prompt (I'm computer illiterate, so I need help navigating it) that I can fix my booting to JUST boot from vista?

you need to restore the mbr. i had this exact problem a few days ago but it was with xp rather than vista but my guess is it would be the same process. boot into your vista cd and go into the recovery console. type FIXMBR and press enter and also FIXBOOT.

I tried that, but for some reason the command prompt is from my second drive, drive X, not drive C.

How do I switch to drive C?

the process for vista is slightly different. type c: then press enter to change drives?

my my, aren't we a little demanding?
People who help others do so of thier own free will, and I'm sure you turned A LOT of people away by saying "NOW!".

That totally worked! HAHA! Thanks SO MUCH!

You just saved me from having to reformat and losing 10 of 50 pages of my Statistics final project :D

And I'm sorry if that did come off as demanding, I meant it in more of a damsel in distress "Oh the big mean kidnapper is going to rape me if you don't come quick" type way, you know?

Anyways, thank you so much.

I was just super worried.
