How do I uninstall LindowsOS? I'm running it along side of WinXP Pro. Corp.

i dont want to losse anything and yes i dont have aother computer to test it on so this was my only chance and i figuered it would just edit boot.ini but nope something else.

Usually you just have to delete the Linux partitions ie, /, swap, maybe /usr and/or /home.

After you've done that, just reinstall the MBR using the Windows XP CD.

That should do it.

PS. why do you want to stop using Linux? It's a great OS (IMO):D

Sheesh, I couldn't get it to install.

War, please tell us your experience with Lindows. Pretty interesting that Walmart is going to market it.

well i do install lindows. only lindows. I tried to install the IE5.5 and it works fine, i run and it was ok except for the speed. but anyway i also manage to install the office 2000, so far so good. everything running, no hangs whatsoever. I tried to install the VB6 enterprise smootly but after installation it ask for a VM to be installed, i insert it but no luck, it wont install. the VB will not be able to load.

Well for me, LINDOWS is not a crap since it was in a beta stage and hopefully they will continue make it more compatible and faster in loading.

lol yea ie did not work even and none of the offices worked..i tried like everyone of them...97s 95s 2k 2k2 and none would install...well i finally got it uninstalled

i put the winxp cd and let it go to 2% and then restart my computer to see what happen and it deleted lindows little thing at startup but nothing else

:)

cya,
will

ps: yea maybe lindows will get better but i'm not going to waist my time download it unlit i see tons of screen shots of the final build...

Lindows does not mess with the partitions at all just adds folder to windows, If you want to delete lindows then delete the folders from windows, then use the XP disk bring it up to repair then go to the windows dir. usually n0. 1 then at the prompt type fixmbr The XP disk will take take care of the Lindows dual boot option.
When installing office in Lindows you need to go and do a custom install and then make sure you do not install the damn wizards that come with office, you know clippy and the others...should install and then run, doesn't give me any problems and runs fine..
SPX was released and yes it had problems (was very slow) but thats been fixed...

cool think i'll try it again once the final build comes out
