The later versions of Mandrake I've encountered, had a tutorial on Disk 1 that could be run from the Windows environment, that should prove informative. As always back up any files you can't afford to lose, before starting any disk partitioning, resizing, etc. Personally in uninstalling, Ive used the Linux version of FDISK to delete linux partitions, as I've never had a win 9x version of fdisk know what to do with a linux partition. You have to redo the master boot record to eliminate lilo, (If it was installed to the M.B.R.)
