Hello I have a two hard drvie system and on one on xp and on the other I recently tried to install THIZ linux however this didnt work and so now im trying to delete it, i see no option for this anyhere either on the cd rom or the options on that 'lilo' boot up page. so i thought i woud just reformat it windows my computer, except windows doesnt pick up the drive in my computer anymore presumably because of the different file structure. so I thought i would delete it using the windows start up disk, no go that doesnt pick the drive up either. sp in summing up i want to know how to get rid of linux and then how to get rid of that stupid load up screen so i can use the space on my second hard disk again. please please help, emial me if possible! thanks very much!

Boot computer with win98 boot disk, type "fdisk /mbr". that gets rid of the lilo boot screen, if you installed it to the mbr. that'll get ya bootin back to XP. as for the other partition, you're gonna just have to reformat it, unless you repartition the disk back to 100% usage. -5
