Karen, Unless I am mis-informed, when you remove a partition, all the information in the partition is irrevocably lost - forever! To my knowlege, Linux does not put any kind of information in the CMOS, or re-do the BIOS. If you remove the Linux partition, then do the DOS fdisk /mbr, that should

The version number is a way of identifying the distribution. For example, Mandrake 6.0 has an older kernel, and older releases of some if not all the software included in that distribution, as compared to the Mandrake 6.1 It is just simpler to use a CD to upgrade the entire distribution in one
