  1. Remove native, swap, and boot partitions used by Linux:a.  Start your computer with the Linux setup floppy disk, type fdisk at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.

    NOTE: For help using the Fdisk tool, type m at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.

    b.  Type p at the command prompt, and then press ENTER to display partition information. The first item listed is hard disk 1, partition 1 information, and the second item listed is hard disk 1, partition 2 information.

    c.  Type d at the command prompt, and then press ENTER. You are then prompted for the partition number you want to delete. Type 1, and then press ENTER to delete partition number 1. Repeat this step until all the partitions have been deleted.

    d.  Type w, and then press ENTER to write this information to the partition table. Some error messages may be generated as information is written to the partition table, but they should not be significant at this point because the next step is to restart the computer and then install the new operating system.

    e.  Type q at the command prompt, and then press ENTER to quit the Fdisk tool.

    f.  Insert either a bootable floppy disk or a bootable CD-ROM for the Windows operating system on your computer, and then press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart your computer.

    i hope i helped

  2. You don't sound like the type of person who could deal with linux very well. You could just reinstall windows if you still have a disc for it.

    Those are your two options or you could just remove windows and sit there with a unusable computer until you do one of the two things listed above.

  3. THEN WHAT ...........  

  4. depends on what you are trying to accomplish...

    if you want to remove windows to sell your computer then you would need a bootable CD to format your hard drive, this would ensure that your disk is completely erased.

    if you are planning on having windows again than you would require a restore cd from your computer manufaturer or a OEM windows cd to boot off of and reformat your computer and reload windows. Hope you have the product key codes.

    hope this helps.
