Hello,
I need to use linux when out of office. Is there a way to
remove it once I install Debian on to a PC with Windoze (2000/XP)? It
should get removed even from the OS menu. If that is possible, please
explain how to go about it.
are you asking "Is there a way to completely remove a Debian
installation from a PC?" ?
Atleast that is what I'm able to understand so answering for that. If
the question is something else, could you clarify.
Anyway, 'yes' you can completely remove a debian installation from a PC.
(It's heresy to do so though ;))
You'll need to do 2 things
1. restore the windoze MBR.
there might be other ways but this is one of the type of my head for
the rest google :).
use a Windoze install disk to boot into rescue mode and run 'fixmbr'
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_fixmbr.mspx?mfr=true
2. Delete the Linux partition
this I'm supposing you'd know howto as you managed to set up a dual
boot environment. Just use your favourite tool ..
"Partitionmagic(windoze)" / "Parted(*nix)".
or I might have missed some but again 'Google' for "partitioning
tools" will get you somewhere.
Hope that helps,
