I deleted the Linux partition, given its space back to NTFS, and reinstalled the Windows bootloader.
This is completely silly. It takes me back many years to the time of kernel 2.2 and it was a struggle to get things to work. Nowadays, it is normally far easier to install a modern distro than it is to install Windows. I do not know what has gone wrong here. A while ago, Windows was terrible - BSODs and non-existent security. Now, Win 7 is actually quite good, so the main reason to struggle to install Linux has gone away. I also do a lot of remote admin of servers, but again, the presence of Cygwin and it X server means I can now do this on a Win 7 machine, almost as easily as I can from a Linux machine. The rest of the time, I use LibreOffice to earn money, watch programmes on MythTV to relax, read mail using Thunderbird and browse the web using Chrome or Firefox: all of which work well on either platform. I would not dream of moving my critical servers from SUSE, but the Samsung laptop works just fine with Win7, and it does all I want it to, so with that OS it will stay, for the time being. Sorry, but that is how it is. A -- Alistair Hamilton Ty Eurgain, Cefn Eurgain Lane, Rhosesmor, Nr.
