That's true, but with one proviso - don't forget to tidy up the boot manager too. If you just use fdisk to remove the Linux partition, chances are you are killing your active partition and therefore your machine don't boot no more.
Before removing anything, make your C drive (in M$ terms) your active partition - i.e. the one that boots. Then reboot and check that Windoze comes up with no sign of a boot manager. Then you can safely zap the Linux partition, create a new one and format at for Windoze use. Have fun with the new machine and the REAL operating system! I guess the next questions we see from you will be about Samba ;-) /brian On Wednesday 12 December 2001 3:03 am, you wrote: > I can answer this in one word. > > Fdisk > > Seriously, you can kill the installation just by doing an fdisk on that > partition and the entire thing is gone. there really isn't much more to > it then that. > > If you're want to replicate your current installation to another machine > _that_ is a whole other matter and I would strongly suggest addressing > that on the expert list. you might give civileme a holler at > MandrakeSoft and ask him directly what that would entail. you can > address it directly on the expert list.
