Since you don't use lilo but boot magic if you give "fdisk /mbr" you will
not be able to use boot magic because it will be deleted from MBR. Just
remove the entry for Linux from the boot magic configuration. Also you
dont have to boot from an installation CD to delete Linux partitions you
can use
Here is how I would do :
type fdisk /mbr at a DOS prompt to delete lilo and make your computer
automaticaly load windows,
then boot with a linux CD (I usualy use the slackware70 CD to do this,
but you can use any CD that has a live system on it) and, once in linux, use
fdisk to turn your ext2 part
I want to put Linux on another PC that is entirely dedicated to Linux. So
far, I have a PC where I have a linux and a windows98 partition (with Boot
+ partition Magic).
How can I delete the Linux partition and use it entirely for Windows?
Just delete the Linux partition and that`s it?
thanks, ma
