I had expected problems with the wireless myself and there are lots of
posts about it and can be worked through .. The HD problem could
probably be worked through with enough work.
I just didn't have time to tweak a lot of bits .. you will note that
my original post, and even those after (except for the type bit) did
not and does not put down Linux or Mandriva. (well probably the
'world works on .. ')
I asked a question on how to uninstall mandriva .. seemed pretty
simple to me .. but there you go
thanks
David, What you didn't mention, but implied in your original message was
that you had BOTH installed - as in a dual-boot setup. Your email could
have been taken either way - ie; with windows also on your system or
with only Mandriva on your system.
I quote;
"I have installed mandriva on my laptop
I wish now to uninstall and just have my XP
How do you Uninstall Mandriva? How do you get rid of the 'Lilo'
I want only windows to be on the disk"
If you already have Windows installed on the system, follow the
instructions previously sent.
If you DON'T already have Windows installed, then simply proceed with a
Windows install as you normally would.
BTW, your hard drive spinning like that may be caused by either a bad
drive (not likely) or your ACPI/APIC settings in your BIOS, but more
than likely not by Mandriva itself.
End of story.
