removing fedora

removing fedora

[Jared]

I have a fedora install with grub as the boot loader. I also have windows
2000 on my computer, but don't have the CD for it. How do I remove fedora
with out a total format, and still have a bootable system? Appreciate any
help.

Re: removing fedora

[Darragh]

Find a program called fixmbr for windows 2000.  Run it when you get rid of
fedora and that'll fix your mbr.  Your system should boot right after that.

Well, not quite, Darragh. But then, I'm not sure what "get rid of"
means.

Doles this person actually want the hard drive space that is now given
over to Fedora to be made available to Win?

Your advice will make it possible to boot Win and nothing else.

If the actual problem is that Win can't be booted, then it's a problem
of understanding and configuration with the extant boot loader--not the
best choice, imho, for the eyes-free user just now.

Your bootability depends on the boot loader, of course.

Jinina, Your probably right, I assumed from his message that he wanted to
get rid of fedora completely but he was unsure how to get Windows to keep
loding.

If you run fixmbr you won't get the grub prompt as Jinina has said, it will
lode right into windows.

If you want to remove fedora, the way I do it is to use partition magic.
Its probably not the right way, but it does the job.  I just delete the
partitions and run fixmbr to make windows lode by default when the machine
boots.  There is a boot loder program supplied with partition magic but its
a waste of space in my opinion.

Is this program a command in the windows 2000 recovery console?

Re: removing fedora

do a search for it on a few sites and you should find it.  I think  I found
it with ntfsdos pro a few months ago.
