how to uninstall mandrake?
I installed Linux Mandrake 8.1 the other day, using the lnx4win gizmo. And I don't really like it, but can't figure out how to uninstall it. It's not in the Add/Remove Programs thing in Windows. The boot selector thing is really annoying too, it only gives me 5 seconds to choose an OS. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Click onto the link below. 'Partition Magic' is the product that you need.

You should have all the tools you need on your computer to get rid of that.As I understand it lnx4win is an image file and swap file installed within windows that can be removed by utilities either in the lnx4win directory or on the mandrake CD.
Here is an explanation of this procedure.
