Uninstalling Linux from Second Hard Drive


Does anybody know how to uninstall Mandrake 7.2 and the Boot loader from my computer? It is installed in my second physical Hard Drive.

Are you using Windows? Go to a command window (Start -> Run -> cmd), and type "fdisk /mbr" That will remove grub from the boot block.

As for getting rid of Mandrake, all you have to do is re-partition the drive, and format it. Again, fdisk will do that for you, but be careful that you don't delete the partition(s) on your windows drive.
