No.. you are stuffed now.. linux, unix or nothing.. :lol: Google is your friend.. or your common sense.. go on .. be a devil and try something off the wall.

BTW.. we are not "hard" in here.. just 1337 and skilled. FOSSers FTW ?

You'll need a screwdriver to open the hard drive, and a scouring pad and some abrasive cleaner to scrub it off with. Don't listen to varnull, he's just jerking your chain, it only takes the pros a couple of minutes.

Slightly presumptuous on your part OzMick , as you don't know if varnull is male or female ... here's a clue : NOT male :P
lol

smarty68 : yes just do a fresh install of XP & it'll delete the linux o/s !! (a basic google search would've told you that , and that's why the sarcasm probably landed squarely on your shoulders tbh).

Anyway have fun , let us know how ya got on.

If it was mandriva on there I'm expecting Micks suggestion to meet with more success. XP partitioner can't handle read only flagged partitions.. :lol:

And you like to wait 6 weeks for active@killdisk to clean a 750GB HDD?

Just bash the partitions off with gparted or qparted and let windoze do it's thing ;).. or hadn't somebody realised we were taking the piss in here?

It seems to have escaped all but a couple of peoples notice that this topic is wrongly posted in the linux section... It has nothing to do with linux, and therefore should be in the windoze softhead section.
