Do you have and want to preserve Windows instance? If not probably you should go with format and clearing disk boot sector...
Actually I do not like two or more OS in one computer. If I want to run another operating system I create Virtual machine with WMware software - clean and safe.

dragonclaws linux isnt that bad if you wanna try and learn a bit how linux works best is to get ubuntu. You can use it without installing and if u like it u can install on HDD.

@dragonclaws
How can you say that I will not touch linux again......come on!
Don't drop your shoulders so quickly.Because of one problem you are trying to avoid it but windows operating systems have much more and weired problems than this and then what you will do?
Keep going with linux and if you have any problems ask here..we all are here to help everyone.

Linux also a cool OS. but i think he used to use Windows. as far as i know windows is very easy to use that's why people preffer windows. as admin said if you want to use windows again just format your disk and install Xp or what ever windows version you want.

Re: How to remove linux completely from my computer

linux isnt ready for everyone yet, ive been using it since redhat 5.2, and im used to it, but i wouldnt let my mum look after a linux machine, sure its ok cos i have ssh access into her computer and i can fix it for her (assuming she doesnt break the network) but i wouldnt trust my mum to fix it herself, though she has learned a lot from it and can fix most things herself now

If you want to change linux partition to windows type, then use some kind of partitioning tool like Partition magic, then delete linux partition and create new one - most likely NTFS.
