Repartition Hard Drive?

[Gill, Jack]

Thanks for the help!

No, I'm not deserting Linux!  

I installed Linux on a laptop that belongs to work, and I just need to
remove Linux, if I can, before I return the laptop.

OK, I will go into some details. If you selecting OS from linux boot
loader, you will have to replace the disk boot sector, if you do this
from windows menu, you just need to remove linux line from c:\boot.ini
(hidden file). In case of linux boot loader you must boot from w2k cd
and select recovery console. from console you must run fix mbr command
(help will bring you full commands list). I did run 2 commands, but fix
mbr will be enougth propably. This just replace linux boot loader, with
windows (will not do anything to the data) and after restart windows
will start without asking what to boot first. Then from windows you can
format linux partition into another windows drive (you cannot merge it
with windows tools). How to do that? Right click my computer, select
manage, find disk something and you will see your partitions. Right
click for more options. P.S. But I suggest you to leave linux, spend
more time with it, learn and soon you will replace windows partition :)

You, trying to desert away from Linux... I won't tell you ;-) Just
follow the instructions on previous posts. But you can also use 
something like Partition Magic if you want to "extend" your Windoze 
partition to make it cover your whole disk.
