I've got Linux Mandrake 8 on my second IDE hard disk.
I've got Windows on C: of course.
I've got a bootmanager - how to get rid of/de install this bootmanager?

And how to wipe the lixux partitions of my HD if I should want to?
(F-disk from Win 98 seems not to be able to find it)
Gratefull for any help :eek:

If the bootmanager is lilo or grub installed to the master boot record, you can boot into windows, go to a dos prompt and type "fdisk /mbr" The bootloader will be gone then.

If you are using somthing like BootMagic, just unintall it in the windows control pannel.

Hi,
I had the same problem in RedHat 7.2 and Lilo took over my MBR..I wanted to use BootMagic..I posed the problem in another forum and it worked like a charm..
Good Luck,
