guys i have just put opensuse 11.1 edition.My father though told me to delete it.How can i delete the whole program?i mean everything of this program so that my windows start as always,regularly and not to show me opensuse???
you can try partition magic to format the partition where open suse is installed
what is partition magic and how to do it??please give me orders like where to go what to install/uninstall etc.pliz i want my computer to be like before without opensuse or linux or anything like that.Just windows…
first did you install linux in a logical partition or in an extended partition.
the main idea is if you can get freedos then you can boot your pc on it and format the partition where you installed it. But if it’s an extended partition the operation is more complicated
i dont know anything.i found this opensuse linux 11.1 from a cd.i think it is not extended.so tell me what to do exactly to compeletely delete it???
More info on your setup would help; which operating systems are installed and bootable on your computer now? Do you have an installation disk for Windows? Do you have a recovery partition on the hard drive for Windows?
i had windows XP.i found a cd in one magazine witch had Opensuse linux11.1 for free.i installed it.after that when i restarted my computer it asked me to choose windows or opensuse.i want now to delete the option of opensuse and only have windows.how can i do this?i dont have any cd with me…
Okay, it sounds like you have a dual-boot system with Windows installed to the first partition or hard drive, and SUSE installed to a second (or later) partition or hard drive. When you installed SUSE, it probably installed either GRUB or LILO as a boot loader to the Master Boot Record of the hard drive. When you boot up the computer and see a screen that allows you to choose between SUSE and Windows, that is the boot menu for GRUB or LILO. Now, I’m going on these assumptions from the information you’ve already posted; I could be wrong.
To remove Linux, you have to delete the partition(s) that contain Linux, restore the Windows boot loader to the Master Boot Record of the first hard drive, and resize the Windows partition to take up the space of the deleted Linux partitions. Since you don’t have a Windows installation disk, you want to mantain the ability to boot into Windows normally throughout the Linux removal process. This isn’t a problem, but something you should keep in mind. Just to be safe, and since you have the SUSE CD on hand, I suggest you restore the Windows Boot Loader first. This would be easier if you have the Windows Recovery console installed, or a recovery partition listed. Check for these by:
-1) Booting the computer,
-2) Select the Windows entry at the boot menu and hit [ENTER],
-3) Access the Windows boot menu by hammering the F8 key immediately after hitting [ENTER]. You’re trying to get to that screen that lists Safe Mode, Safe Mode with networking, Boot normally, etc. The Recovery Console or recovery partition would possibly show up here, if they’re available on your computer.
The Windows boot menu is notoriously difficult to access. If you know some trick to make it work on your computer, do that. Just do it quickly after selecting the Windows entry.
NOTE: If you’re using LVM or RAID on your computer, get more information before using any of my suggestions. I don’t know anything about those types of disk configurations, or their impact on your problem. If you’re uncertain, use the tools in SUSE to get information about your current disk layout. SUSE has Partitioner, a nice GUI tool that’ll list all your hard drives, how they’re partitioned, how SUSE uses/mounts them, filesystems, disk size and free space. You can access it by clicking (Start menu)>System>YaST>System>Partitioner.
