Simplest way to uninstall Linux?


Hi

I have 2 physical HD's 1. is for Win XP, partitioned to C and D. 2. is new HD partitioned to 2 pieces and where Mandrake 9.1 is now.
Now I want to unistall it and install RedHat. I don't have anything important on that Linux HD so format could be the easiest way? Or perhaps RedHat installation removes all files from the partition it is installed?

Thanks

Janne

Yep, load up your Redhat disk and you can install by using the Disk Druid tool for partitioning, etc.

Start the Redhat install CD and choose custom installation. This will let you install and reformat the existing partitions, delete and create new.

See documentation at Redhats website.
