Default GRUB and Windws NT

I went to install Windows NT and it reformatted a hdd that formerly had Suse 9.1 on it. When setup was done i restarted like it said. When I restarted POST shows normal and then instead of loading Windows NT all I see is endless rows of the word GRUB. Is this some kind of "anti-windows" feature GRUB has? How can I reformat my hdd so that nothing is left on there? Does anyone have a bootdisk that'll do it?

P.S. I am not trying to do a dual boot setup.

Cool "The Bitmap: RELOADED..."

What are you talking about?

Just get a DOS startup floppy from another computer by right-clicking a empty floppy, and selecting "Format". then fill in the checkbox that sais "Copy system files only", and press format. after that's done, copy the "FORMAT.COM" file from the computer's C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM/ Directory to the floppy you've just formatted. then take your Messed up computer, and insert the floppy, then tun it on. (BIOS should be set to start up through the Floppy drive (Drive A:\) First.) So after it starts up through a command prompt that looks like this:


A:\>

You are now ready to begin formatting. to do that, type:

format C:

and press ENTER. Now after a warning pops up asking you if you're shure you want to reformat..., (Blablablabla...) Press Y and ENTER.
After it reformats, it will ask you to rename the drive. (This is optional.) Press ENTER, any you now have a COMPLETELEY EMPTY DISK!


Hope that helps you with your formatting problem.
