4.23. How to Uninstall Linux

Well, that is not recommended, as you may regret it soon, but, that's your right :-)

The process consists of two simple steps:

  1. delete all partitions on your hard drive and replace them by a single FAT partition through Managing Your Partitions;

  2. uninstall the bootloader (generally grub) from the Master Boot Record (MBR). To do so, boot under DOS and run the fdisk /mbr command.

    If you have another OS, consult its documentation to know how to do same thing efficiently.

Goodbye, and thank you for using Mandrake Linux :-)
