how to remove Suse Linuix 9.3 from dual boot running Grub

mwrath · 03-30-2011, 04:15 PM

I have a old IBM ThinkPad that dual boots XP and Suse 9.3 and the original install of Lunix used all the free space and XP has little free space. I now run 11.3 on my much newer Dell and would like to give old ThinkPad to my son.
I would like to remove all of 9.3 and restore the whole drive to XP.

Thanks in advance for any help.

To get rid of grub, and restore the MBR so XP will boot, is easy enough. Here is a link with a howto.

You will want to delete the linux partitions. That will create free space. You can create new partitions, and format them with XP. XP should see them as D disk, E disk, etc.
