In Windows: 1) Make a Windows boot disk, copy FDISK.EXE to it. In linux (Windows won't do this for you): 2) run "fdisk /dev/hda" as root. 3) hit "p" to print out your partition table. 4) Look at the last column, you will want to get rid of anything that says "linux". 5) hit "d" and the partition number for your linux partitions (be sure to get the swap partition as well). 6) If your are sure that this is correct, then hit "w" to write the new partition table and quit. Otherwise, hit "q" to quit without making any changes. 6a) You could also use linux's fdisk to create your new Windows partition, but I'm going to assume that you will want to do this using Windows (either way will work just fine). 7) If you deleted your linux partitions (linux and linux swap), then simply cycle your power switch. No sense in an orderly shutdown now... 8) Boot up using your Windows boot disk. Type FDISK /MBR and hit enter. 9) Reboot without the floppy, Windows should come up. Recreate, enlarge, whatever, your extra space and format it for Windows (be sure not to accidentally format your "C:\" drive. John |
