Unistall IMPI

Post by ajstrauss »

In your edition with IMPI on the cover disc you explain how easy it is to install a dual boot configuration with Win XP and IMPI. How do I uninstall IMPI without killing XP?

Reinstall windows. Its so greedy it'll take every last piece of HDD space, linux wont stand a chance :twisted: If you dont want to reinstall I think the recovery option when you boot off the XP cd might reclaim the disk space, not sure though.

to get the MBR going again you are going to need to boot from the XP cd and go into the recovery console, at the prompt type the following.

1."fixboot" and hit enter
2."Y" and enter
3."fixmbr" and enter
4."Y" and enter

all without qoutes offcourse, then once back into windows maybe just format the partition that contains linux
