Newbie Uninstalling Linux 6.1

thanks a ton, d'niJaguar

thanks for the reply, but i still need a little more help.

1.  i have another computer with win95 on it.  i've made a "rescue disk" for windows on that machine, will this work as a DOS boot floppy?

2.  the CDROM works under linux, is there any way to get CD drivers from it, and use them to set up the CD in DOS?

and to clarify...
when i boot to DOS, the ONLY command i execute is:  fdisk/mbr, right? i don't do anything else with it?

thanks a lot, i asked a lot here, so i'll try to raise the points for you.

no, you can't get the cd drivers from linux :-(. The win disk will do nicly for a boot disk, and before you do fdisk /mbr, you need to type fdisk, and delete all the linux partions, and maybe make a dos partion. The program explains itself pretty well.
thanks for the help, i'll try that...
