Uninstallation of Fedora ======================== If Linux is installed on a PC in dual-boot mode, the master boot record (MBR) of the boot partition of the primary drive is written with either GRUB(GRand Unified Bootloader) or LILO(LInux LOader). After Linux installation, if your computer is unable to boot Windows or Linux, * You may want to repair the MBR using Knoppix Boot with Knoppix CD start a Terminal window change to root (type su -- no password is needed) chroot /mnt/sysimage cd /boot/grub vi grub.conf and make any necessary changes on this file To install GRUB into the MBR of a hard disk (hda) grub-install /dev/hda To install GRUB into a partition of a hard disk (hda2) grub-install /dev/hda2 exit shutdown and reboot without Knoppix CD * If you want to fix the MBR (to boot Windows and disregard Linux), Boot the PC with Windows-98 DOS boot floppy (http://www.bootdisk.com) and then execute fdisk /mbr This will fix the MBR so that Windows would boot normally. However, Linux cannot be booted at all. You may re-install Linux again. * Read http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_setup_boot_loaders If you need to erase an entire hard disk, download KillDisk software from http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm and completely erase all sectors of the hard disk.
