The Linux operating system is generally installed on partition type 83 (Linux native) or max)
82 (Linux swap). The Linux boot manager (LILO) can be configured to start from:
* The hard disk Master Boot Record (MBR).
[Image]
* The root folder of the Linux partition.
The Fdisk tool included with Linux can be used to delete the partitions. (There are
other utilities that work just as well, such as Fdisk from MS-DOS 5.0 and later, or you
can delete the partitions during the installation process.) To remove Linux from your
computer and install Windows 2000 or Windows NT:
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 Linux
operating system on your computer, and then press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart
your computer.
2. Install Windows 2000 or Windows NT. Follow the installation instructions for the
Windows operating system you want to install on your computer. The installation
process assists you with creating the appropriate partitions on your computer.
