If you still want to uninstall Linux then just boot up yoor DOS/Windows partition, run fdisk and remove the linux partition(s) and replace it with a DOS one. Then format the new partition and the type 'fdisk /mbr' in the dos prompt to get rid of LILO. Or start fdisk in linux and remove and replace the partition(s) there there and then just boot DOS and format the new drive and type 'fdisk /mbr' Hope I've helped you, but if you really want to get good at Linux you mustn't give up that easily. -- Rikard Brand - rikard.brand@mail.bip.net UIN(ICQ): 23416347
