Removing Linux Mandrake
I installed it on the other Hard Drive. Then I had problems with it and it didn't want to co-operate so I had to reinstall it and when I doen that I accidently formated my C: drive so now I've reinstalled WindowsXP Professional and I'm back to sqare one but Windows dose not see the second Hard-Drive. How do remove linux from it and let windows see the drive again. Thanks.

Remove all of the partitions using fdisk and then run the the fdisk /mbr command to get rid of LILO.

Often times the DOS version of fdisk fails. I have a bootable Slackware Linux CD that has the Linux version of Fdisk on it. It is the greatest for removing Linux partitions and fixing Windows partitions. Try using DOS fdisk first by booting off of a Windows 95/98 boot disk, typing in:
fdisk at the A:/ prompt. then display and delete the partitions.
