Mandrake 10.1 uninstallation


Hello.

I have two hard disks. One of them is 10GB, and it had been unused for a while. Then I got Mandrake Linux 10.1 and I decided to install it on that disk. When it came to partitioning it, I decided that I wanted it to use only 5GB of that hard disk's space and the rest of that disk would be free for me to use in windows, etc.

A week later, after trying it all out, I decided I wanted Mandrake to use this 10GB hard disk entirely, so now I want to uninstall Mandrake and repartition the disk, then install Mandrake on the disk again, but this time so it uses the disk entirely.

So, I think what I need to know is; how do I uninstall Mandrake Linux 10.1?

Thanks in advance... and sorry if my question is stupid/already asked.

Assuming you've backed up all the data that you want to from the drive, just start the install process and choose to repartition&format the drive rather than re-install/fix/upgrade.
