Greetings, Chris.

Here's the rub:  in one of the few similarities with Windows, Linux is an
Operating System (in contrast to an application) and as such cannot be
uninstalled (when your top level is the thing you want to remove, there isn't
anything above it to do the removing).  What you want to do is simply boot
from a floppy, repartition using fdisk (or your partitioning tool of choice)
and then reformat the necessary partitions for Windows (since it won't
install onto unformatted partitions).  Then install Linux and during the
install process RedHat will format your Linux partitions (and swap space).

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Brice
