unistalling Linux


Hello Linux users,

My 40 GB hardrive has 3 logical partitions (C: WinXP, D: FAT32, E: Mdk10.1). As I am running out of disk space, I would like to remove the Mdk from my system which I am not using now-a-days. Please let me know how to uninstall Linux without disturbing Win XP.

Thanks in advance,

Raghu Sankarayogi

from a dos terminal, type fdisk /mbr to reinstall the original MBR and get rid off the boot loader (lilo or grub).

The partition used by Mandrake (E can be eliminated using the Windows disk manager, founded at Control Panel/Administrative tools/Computer Management/Disk Manager.

regards,
