Actually, steps 3 and 4 must come before 1. In order to remove ext2
partitions you must boot into some version of linux such as Tom's Root Boot
and use linux fdisk, not the windows fdisk.
Then boot using the win98 startup floppy, run fdisk /mbr

easy as 123 i think i have had to tell several people how to do this, use
fdisk
in the dos prompt type
fdisk /mbr
lillo is now dead and your comp will only boot windows
now type fdisk
now you can delete the linux partition all together using the options in its
menu

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.
Does anyone have experience with Peanut? It looks like just what I've been
looking for to i
boot from a DOS disk, perform an fdisk /mbr and you will be back to

ok, ok, ok So 500 MB w
easy as 123
use dos fdisk it can be found by using run or just boot up with your windows
system disk and use command prompt
no im not going to tell you to delete your hard drive
type fdisk /mbr
this will get rid of grub
now type fdisk
using these options you can safely delete the linux partition
Sorry to hear that you are not happy with Linux. hopefully you will return
one day.
Most often, all you need to do is delete the linux ext2 and swap partitions
and you're home free. You may need to boot with a DOS boot diskette and use
fdisk to flash the master boot record, you would do this if y
sk, and reboot.

Been there, done that!!
I had fun with this after a crashed install, because I couldn't remove the
partition, and couldn't get back in to use Linux fdisk!! I didn't have a
rescue disk either. Fdisk on Windows can see the Linux extended partition,
as an extended partition seems to be the same unde
Hi,
Have you tried fdisk or cfdisk in
Linux?
