i was suggested by someone that i shud simply put a cd of windows 98 on my machine and install it makin the required changes in the BIOS (i.e boot from CDROM as the first option) .Is this the right way to go abt it ??? i dont mind goin entire way to remove linux of my machine and again getin windows up and after wards linux or mandrake whichever is required but the problem which i have experianced is that when i tried to install win2000 professional usin a boot floppy disk(win 98) and then using fdisk to remove the partitions i could'nt remove all the partitions . so i guess there is a certain way to remove linux of my machine .......so help me regards jaspal singh sawhney./ --- MALKIAT BENIPAL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > You need not to fall in the 'jhanjat' of third > party's partitioning tools.
