  1. 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

    Need help uninstalling fedora core 2

    V.helpful reply, thanks. Alas, fedora was installed by an overzealous mate who lives 150 miles away and didn't think to supply us with the boot cd. So i'll have to try the MS support article route, I think. Thanks again. I'll return if it all goes tits up.
