UPDATE!!! I talked to one of my professors and he told me to use qtpart on knoppix. So i'm currently downloading a knoppix 5.1 iso. Is qtpart pretty straight-forward, or will it be confusing? If it's gonna be confusing, could I get a little instruction as to how to use it?

I brought the disk to my friends house and we formatted it to NTFS using the Windows XP format program. Didn't do the quick format or anything. When I brought it home and tried the Windows installation again, I got the same problem. Would my HDD's manufacturer program do it any differently? It's a Western Digital HDD.

So I want to remove Fedora Core 6 and reinstall Windows XP Pro so that other people in my house can use it. The main issue here is that I can't seem to get rid of Grub, or I can't replace it with the Windows boot. I've been to Microsoft's step by step instruction page on how to remove Linux, but it only works if it's the LILO boot loader. I'm completely lost right now, as I've tried so many different things that don't work in my situation. Right now FC6 is the only OS on the system and it won't let me boot up the Windows install CD. Sorry if the information is all mixed up, but I'm really frustrated right now. Any help would be much appreciated.
