You may think Linux is an easy OS to eliminate, as most are. I am learning this the hard way. Use my mistake as your help. When removing Linux.

What You’ll Need

    * An Installation of Linux
    * A Bootable MS-DOS Disk with Fdisk.exe

1. Save the old files
Before you leave Linux you will want to rescue any files you have, that you would like to keep. Copy them to a CD or a web directory.

2. Remove the bootloader.
How do you do that? Use a boot disk and type this into the command prompt without the quotation marks. “FDISK /MBR”. You will need the FDISK program from a Windows 95/98/ME C:\Windows\Command folder.

3. Format the Partition
This is pretty simple. In Windows XP you can use the “Manage” tab and delete the “Foriegn” partition. You can then replace it with a drive for whatever you need, from space for music, to place for your downloads, you can make a new one.

Congratulations, you just killed an innocent, not quite so buggy operating system!
