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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@rednote.net> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 5:28 PM Subject: Re: removing fedora > Your bootability depends on the boot loader, of course. > Jared writes: > > From: "Jared" <jared-stofflett@twmi.rr.com> > > > > I have a fedora install with grub as the boot loader.
