Linux from my computer Topic is solved

[pueliala]

How can I remove Linux from my computer and restore the partition space to windows? I have both Linux Mint 11 and windows 7 on my computer and I no longer want it on my computer so... ya, pretty much says it all in the title.

You can re-size the partitions from within Windows 7. And use your Windows 7 DVD (or create a System Recovery Disc) to "repair" the Master Boot Record.
You can simply select repair your computer:

Later down the line you will have the choice of a startup repair

The easiest way is to pick the Command prompt option and simply type

Code: Select all

bootrec.exe /FixMbr

That should take care of it.
In some cases you may need to do an aditional:

Code: Select all

bootrec.exe /FixBoot

This will write a new boot sector.

Linux is all about choice - nobody wants to force it on you by pressuring OEM's etc - so if this is your choice; naturally you should be able to do it.

Of course you have paid for your copy of Windows so you should have the DVD that came with the computer.

It seems clear that you belong in the Windows camp (but do feel free to ask questions about Linux anyway).

One thing that is not optional is editing posts and put commercial links in the signature later on (I have no illusions that this is the main intention of this post - so we will be watching - If not - GREAT! And do feel free to ask Windows questions; we cannot have (strong) opinions about Windows without knowing it....so we might come to your rescue there too ).

Sorry, I wouldn't, lol.
Even though Linux is all about choice, I think that's the stupidest one that anyone can make.

This guy was listed as a spammer on stopforumspam.com so he is banned. I'll leave the question and the answer because it has information value.

But removing Linux for Windows after having used it? - I knew there was something fishy there

Yup, and suspected the same.
