I did a mistake while uninstalling ubuntu. I went on windows and deleted the ubuntu partitions, now i cant boot xp anymore since it doesnt catch the boot file. Im running a netbook so i dont have access to any cd/floopy drive. Im reinstalling ubuntu so i gope u guys can tell me how to solve this from ubuntu. I also couldnt access the recovery partition :x

EDIT: I installed ubuntu and regained access to windows partitions. Gonna use the recovery partition cause the recover partition became visible which isnt good X_x

EDIT2: Used the recovery partition but it didnt clean my whole HDD. Still need help =(

Can you boot from USB Stick? If so, google for SystemRescueCD. I think they have a downloadable image that can be written to a USB stick, which you could then boot from and use GParted from that to remove any remaining partitions.
