Hi,
I have Windows 7 and openSuse on my Acer Aspira 5532. I find that after using it, I’d rather get rid of Windows 7 all together. However, I want to be careful not to remove the partition that has the Windows 7 Reinstallation boot disk just incase in the future I wish to go back to Windows.
Is there a way I can make my entire computer Linux (no dual boot) but also not deleting the Windows 7 reinstallation partition?
Further, can someone example why, on Boot, I have like 5 options to choose from? Like two openSUSE versions, failsafe, Windows 1, and Windows 2…?
To be honest, when I installed openSUSE, I just did the recommended partition job that it suggested. I don’t know much about partitions.
I’m not sure I would advise what you desire. It could easily end in tears. For anyone that doesn’t have a proper install disk for windows you should make a set of recovery disks or get yourself a full windows dvd. I just deleted everything.
The boot options you have are normal when you have more than one windows partition. Hence windows 1 and windows 2
Install openSUSE without delete the recovery partition, delete
everything else and make the swap, /, and /home partition, the installer
will detect the windows 7 recovery and add it to grub, then you can
comment the config line on grub, but DO NOT DELETE IT, so you’ll have a
single boot and if you want Win7 back you have to uncoment the lines and
boot it
