I have at present a 15Gb Linux partition on my 30GB hard drive. I no longer use Linux so would quite like to have the Partition back, 15 GB is a lot of space.

I've put in my Linux disc 1 and all it wants to do is install, no un-install option. How do I go about getting this Linux Native Partition back into FAT 32??

Cheers
Stuart.

What is the other O/S on that PC? You should, for example, be able to see it and remove it with XP/2000 disk manager, and then just create a new partition and format it.

Better idea would be to keep the Linux and delete MS

Just a further note - Partition Magic is a pretty good tool for managing all kinds of partitions (Linux,FATx,NTFS etc).
