thxs for any help

You could try typing fdisk -l (that's dash, lower case L) at the command line to show all disk partitions. If Windows is still there, it should show up as a separate partition, in addition to the Linux and Linux swap partitions, I think.

Re-installing Windows from the CD won't do any damage to your system. You'll probably need to re-partition the HDD first.

now were trying to delete suse off the thing we have been trying to this all day

but we have not tryd that yet

enter ur windows xp cd and enter the recovery console and type fixmbr
or use a startup disk and type fdisk /mbr

If you ever re-install Windows from a dual booting system, it will overwrite your boot manager and take over the MBR (master boot record), then you will need to resetup your boot manager to even see the linux partions.

in order to reinstall windows over any linux distrobution you will need to repartion your hard drive and then deal w/ it. Boot into your distro's cd and then delete the linux partion, reboot and then install windows just like you always do.

let me know if you need more thoughts... in dual-booting, always setup windows first

i wanna take suse off for EVER!
