Hello all, hope you can help.
Long story short, I have in my posession a computer which only has Fedora core 2 on. No other partitions, No dual boot sequence, no nothing. To all intents and purposes, its a completely new machine with a fresh, relatively blank HD.
I want to remove Fedora, and install windows XP. I know, i know! its not for me, its for the missus.
How do i do this?
Ideally i'd like to end up with an empty computer, a blank HD, no boot loaders, just plain ol' crappy windows.
Searching google for this is like needle in a haystack, however this forum seems to be very helpful.
I know enough linux to get my way around the filesystem and do menial tasks, but not enough to fix this, so I welcome reasonably complicated how-to's.
- I'm aware of the existance of Grub, which is what seems to be coming up when I try to boot from the windows cd. I don't know how to use it though.
- I'm also aware linux partitions are invisible to the XP cd, which is mainly the problem since the grub loader only shows one possible OS to boot/modify - Fedora.
Any help much appreciated
