How to Uninstall Linux

Operating systems generally do not offer the possibility to uninstall themselves. Mandrake Linux is proud to offer you the liberty to do so.

The uninstallation process consists of two steps:

  1. Delete all partitions on your hard drive and replace them by a single FAT partition with DiskDrake.

  2. Uninstall the bootloader (generally grub) from the Master Boot Record (MBR). To do so, boot under DOS and run the fdisk /mbr command.

    If you have another OS, please consult its documentation to determine how to perform the same step.

Goodbye, and thank you for using Mandrake Linux!
