[newbie] uninstalling linux mandrake.

[Cobra176]

ok, ok, ok So 500 MB wasn't enough partition space to make a properly 
working Linux Mandrake without eventually crashing. I learn from these 
things. [:

As I result, I'm trying to uninstall the linux partition and put all back to 
the original state. I want to get rid of the LILO boot and slide the 500 MB 
back into my Win95 partition where I need it until I upgrade from my 
ghetto-style 4 GB HDD.

I ran the "uninstall Linux parition" program. It said it was removed and 
everything... Strangely, my computer still goes to LILO, then linux boots 
(unless, of course I type in "dos"). 

Win95 says my 3.75GB (practically 4GB) HDD is 2.6GB, so the partition is 
obviously still there...

ANY help would be greatly appreciated. (=

boot from a DOS disk, perform an   fdisk /mbr  and you will be back to
square 1 
Will this clear off my Win95 partition too, or just kill off the Linux one?

 I just found "Peanut" Linux installation that claims to need less than 
200MB
 for install.  Maybe it's not too late to keep Linux.  The readme file says
 there's an option to overwrite larger installations. 
Wonderful idea! Unfortunately, I need as much space as possible, and thus 
need the whole 500MB ):
But I'll re-install Linux soon when I upgrade. (=
-I'd never abandon Linux forever.
