See if there is a file named uninstall.bat located in the lnx4win folder. If it's there, run it to uninstall lnx4win.

yeah i read that in a previous post but there is no unistall.bat in the folder. i download the uninstall.bat file and put in the folder and ran it but it didnt do anything? So how else can i take it out?

Could you post a copy of the uninstall.bat file? Also, what happens when you run it? Do you get any messages? Did you check to see if any of the files were removed?

im not exactly sure of the address i got it from. as far as i can tell it didnt remove anything.

When I left lnx4win I just nix'd the whole directory since that's all it was, did a sys c: from the windows bootdisk to freshen config.sys and autoexec. You can do an fdisk /mbr at that time too if you want also if you've changed bootloaders like lilo instead of loadlin only. sys doesn't always work, but it's worth a try if you can't get it off through the conventional uninstallers.

This is a copy I found:

cls
@echo off

c:
cd \windows\temp
if exist lnxflag goto del1:

echo.
echo Lnx4Win Uninstallation...
echo This program will remove all Lnx4Win files from the hard disk !
echo.
echo.
echo Press a key to continue...
echo Press CTRL+C to stop the Program !
echo.
pause > nul

cd \lnx4win
copy uninstall.bat \windows\temp\lnxflag
copy uninstall.bat \windows\temp\lnxuninst.bat
copy rm.exe \windows\temp
cd \windows\temp
call lnxuninst.bat

:del1
del lnxflag
rm -rf \lnx4win
rm -rf \mandrake
cd \

if exist config.mdk goto del2:
goto fin

:del2
del config.sys
ren config.mdk config.sys

:fin
exit


All it does is delete the following directories:

c:\lnx4win
c:\mandrake


and then it deletes the c:\config.sys file, renames the c:\config.mdk file to c:\config.sys . You can do this yourself from an msdos prompt or windows explorer. Just make sure before you delete the c:\config.sys file that the c:\config.mdk exists. Otherwise, you won't have any c:\config.sys file.
