| 383469 | 2005-08-24 15:29:00 | Hi, I installed Fedora Core 4 over Windows XP on my laptop to experiment with linux; I didn't partition the drives or anything. Now i tried to install WinXP again by booting the CD (Just as i did for FC4) but it doesn't work! How can i remove linux and replace it with WinXP again plzzz? Thanks |
