Talking help with unistalling redhat linux

Hi, my first post :P and already bothering you guys sorry... but i have a question the other day i installed red hat 9.0 in a computer, but then i though why not changing the hard-drive to another computer, because it has more ram and i thought i would be faster. But then when i installed the hard-drive to the other computer it just dont boot :S it just keeps restarting and restarting again, and i wanted to make a clean installation again but when the cd is trying to boot it just takes me to the main part ( a blue window that says : GRUB) and it list the partiotion that is installed in the hard-drive but when press enter in the partiotion it just restart :S ... What can i do? sorry i new to linux world :P and already messing up the system xD

Doesn't sound like a linux problem at all. For starters, the files on the hard drive are appearing 'damaged' or 'missing' to your motherboard, so it will not boot as it should (this is why you get the 'grub' screen). Your cd most likely isn't booting because you don't have it set to boot from a cd in your bios. Check and see if there is a boot priority, boot order, or some similar item in your bios.

ye, but the problem is that i cant get into the BIOS setting of my computer, because it was stored in an old hard-drive that burned out and now it just directly boots into the hd so, there is not way to unistall linux? from the grub, then install it again? sorry for my little knowledge of things :P

Your BIOS would not have been installed on the hard drive. You should always be able to boot into BIOS no matter how many hard drives fail or how many times you switch it. When you first turn on the computer try hitting F10 or delete to try and enter your BIOS settings. Once there look for the options kage suggested and change the boot order to boot your cdrom before the harddrive
