If you are running DOS, NT, Win95/98 you can use fdisk /mbr This will rewrite the MBR to ONLY boot from the primary DOS partition. To remove Linux entirely from your drive, you can use your installation floppy. Start the installation and select install (not upgrade). When it gets to the point about disk partioning, use fdisk instead of Disk Druid. In fdisk, type "p" (without quotes) (for example, fdisk p) which will display your partition numbers. Remove the partitions with the "d" command. (fdisk d) The you need to write to the partition table using the "w" command. Reboot and you're done! Hope I helped! -- Lloyd Osten [EMAIL PROTECTED]
