Hello,
maybe someone can help me.  I received a CD for Linux Suse and installed it
on my laptop.  Now I need to remove it again and don't know how.  I need to
format the HD, I think, but my emergency disk that has fdsk etc. on it,
doesn't work.  Please help me to get Windows back.  THANKS!!!

Hi Heidi,

If you have Windows 98 or newer, you should be able to boot from the CD
into a temporary windows session.  Then you can use fdisk

You should also be able to boot with the SuSE CD and select 'Rescue'
mode. Then you should also have fdisk, but it works a bit diferent.
Linux have a utility called cfdisk that is user-friendly that might be
available in rescue mode, I am not sure.

If you have to use the linux fdisk, do the following:

fdisk /dev/hda

Then type 'm' to get a list of commands

I hope this helps
Andre
