removing SUSE from dual boot without reformatting the other OS
 

I have a dual boot of Windows and SLED10.1 on a dell dimension 2400, I am giving this computer to a family member who doesn't know how to use Linux nor would have the time or patience to try. How could I remove SUSE for her without reinstalling Windows. If possible I would like to reintegrate the SUSE partition into the Windows partition (though if I remember correctly you can't do it unless you reformat).

thank you for any help or links to answers

Do you mean to remove SUSE ?
It means you will lose all data in SUSE. Is it OK ?

Download the ISO gparted or systemrescuecd (burn it to a CD)

Do you mean you want the disk space from SUSE to add to windows. It is really easy.

Remember to back up your SUSE data if you need it.

1. boot the machine with XP cd and then fixmbr

2. Boot from gparted CD and open the the application:

3. Now delete the SUSE partition; it should be something: ext3 or reiserfs.

4. Now just drag the slider of ntfs / or fat32 of windows to cover all the disk.

5. Apply changes.

6. restart and remove CD

thank you very much, I will post back here when I'm done
