Hi everyone,

I hate to make my first post be on the topic if removing linux, but it is what it is. A few years ago my employer gave me an IBM T40 with Win2k on it. The first think I did was shrink the windows partition and create a second one on half the disk, on which I installed RHEL. Obviously I was using GRUB to dual boot. Unfortunately, for a number of reasons I was forced back on to Win2k but since disk space was never a problem I didn't worry about the RHEL installation. Unfortunately, I've just run out of disk space on the windows partition so it's time to over write linux and reformat that partition as NTFS. I'm not sure how to proceed though and I'm really paranoid about putting the machine into a state where I can't even boot. I'm sure that this is simple enough, but I'm not sure how to proceed. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Stick your W2k disk in, reboot to recovery console and run fixmbr.
That'll restore the ntldr boot loader to the MBR. Once that's right just delete the RHEL partition from disk mangler.
