Need to Uninstall Mandrake 9.2 (DONE thx)

[ShawnReeves]

I have Mandrake 9.2 installed on one of my partitions the other has Windows XP. Linux created a blue Menu screen to choose which OS to boot into.
I thought about just formatting the partition but would'nt that effect the menu? and how would I get rid of the menu also? Any help would be great!

Thx

fixmbr

fdisk /mbr will also remove the boot menu. Windows XP will automatically create a new one upon reboot.

That works in XP? (I really don't know, just curious)

fixmbr was the trick! Had to load the XP cd to get it though. 😉

Have done it with both XP and 2k. Never had any problems.

Actually you could have booted with a win98 boot disk; at least it works for me when it is time to swack Linux.
