lol, boot into dos from a floppy, CD, or anything. Then format your harddrive, or just format the linux partition. Try using Partition Magic or something if you don't want to mess up anything...

You must have Linux boot files on a different partition too...are you sure it didnt make a LinuxBoot thing or something?

nah I'm sure it's just his windows boot file

start => run => c:/boot.ini

make sure the only thing you have in there is your windows boot option. Oh and back it up before you edit it incase you **** up.

when i installed SuSE it created a small 512kb partition for the boot files...could be different for him though.

you can set it up so that partition is never created actually, and then change the boot file in windows to give you the choice of what to boot, I just assumed he did that since the instalation tutorial I posted for him had that method in it.

Nope.. I installed all on one partition.

I have only windows boot.
this is my boot.ini

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

yeah meh guess so, I just assumed that if he wasn't sure if he wanted to keep linux or not he would have installed it in the least obtrusive and easiest to uninstall way possible, guess I was wrong :x
