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 (duh!)
    * A Bootable MS-DOS Disk with Fdisk
    * A Brain, Half Decent Condition

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!
