Sorry to see you go. Maybe you'll have better luck the next time.
Uninstalling is easier than some would indicate. But you need to prep the disk.
Fire up Linux first. Drop to a console (if you booted into an X login screen,
just hit [Ctrl-F1].
Log in as root.
(assuming the Linux drive is the first/only drive, and it's ide)
fdisk /dev/hda
delete all partitions!
write changes & exit fdisk.
Power down the machine (at this point, there's nothing to hurt).
Boot with a windows (dos) floppy, with fdisk on it.
fdisk the drive (again), and create a new dos/windows partition. Make it active
& bootable.
Write & exit.
- It's best to use the fdisk that belongs to the OS you're going to install. You
could have done this with the Linux fdisk, but I've seen that be problematic.
Also, windows fdisk has problems removing Linux partitions.
To be sure the MBR is clear, run "fdisk /mbr" (without the quotes).
Good idea to format the disk at this point. Run "format c:" (without the
quotes).
Then toss your Windows CD into the drive, reboot, and re-install windows.
That's all there is to it. Good luck, and I hope we see you back again soon.
