Please help....I am new to linux and going to school for computer science. I don't know a whole lot about computers, but am learning.
I installed Linux Red Hat on my computer and when it asked me if I wanted to delete partitions, I clicked "delete ALL partitions" thinking that if things didn't work out, I could later just put in the Windows install disk and it would automatically install.....apparently a big mistake...
now, after finding that I need to learn a lot more about Linux before I use it, I am finding it difficult to delete from my system.....
So, simply put, I need a simple, step by step on how to make delete linux and install windows...
I have no other partitions other than the ones I am running Linux on.....
Just boot up with the Windows cdrom. Shortly after, there comes a section for creating and/or deleting partitions. You can use this to delete all partitions and install Windows. If you want to reinstall Linux after, then be sure to tell Windows not to use the whole disk.
Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
