How To Remove Linux And Install

Windows on Your Computer

This article explains how to install Windows on your computer after removing the Linux operating system from it. This article also makes the assumption that Linux, which is incompatible with Windows, has previously been installed on the hard drive using Linux native and Linux swap partitions, and that there is no more free space on the drive.

Linux and Windows can both run on the same machine. Consult your Linux documentation for more details.

You must manually delete the partitions utilized by the Linux operating system if you want to install Windows on a machine that already has Linux installed. During the Windows operating system installation, the Windows-compatible partition can be created automatically.

A bootable disc or CD-ROM for the Linux operating system must be present before you proceed with the methods in this article because doing so will totally delete the Linux operating system from your computer. Make sure you have a reliable backup of all the data on your computer if you plan to restore the Linux operating system at a later time. Additionally, the Windows operating system that you intend to install must be in the full release.

A "superblock" at the start of a disc partition is used by Linux file systems to specify the fundamental dimensions, configuration, and state of the file system.

Typically, partition types 83 (Linux native) or 82 are used to install the Linux operating system (Linux swap). It is possible to set the Linux boot manager (LILO) to launch from:

The Master Boot Record on a hard drive (MBR).

the Linux partition's root directory.

The partitions can be deleted using the Fdisk tool that comes with Linux. (Other tools, such as Fdisk from MS-DOS 5.0 and later, or deleting the partitions during the installation process, work equally well.) To install Windows and delete Linux from your computer:

Remove the Linux boot, swap, and native partitions:

Using the Linux setup floppy disc to start your computer, type fdisk at the command prompt and hit ENTER.

NOTE: Type m at the command prompt and press ENTER for instructions on how to use the Fdisk program.

To view partition information, enter p at the command prompt and click ENTER. Information about hard drive 1, partition 1 is listed first, followed by information about hard disc 1, partition 2.

At the command prompt, type d and hit ENTER. The partition number that you want to erase is then requested of you. To remove partition number 1, enter 1 and then press ENTER. Up until all of the partitions have been erased, repeat this process.

To add this information to the partition table, type w and hit ENTER. As data is being written to the partition table, certain error messages might be produced; however, they shouldn't be significant at this time as installing the new operating system will come after restarting the computer.

To end the Fdisk utility, enter q at the command prompt and click ENTER.

You can restart your computer by inserting a bootable CD-ROM or floppy disc for the Windows operating system and then pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE.

Install Windows. Follow the installation instructions for the Windows operating system you want to install on your computer. The installation process assists you with creating the appropriate partitions on your computer.
