    If you are going to reinstall windows, the easiest way I know of is just to boot to the Windows cd, repartition the drive and reformat. If you like and want to keep the Suse then I would think about adding another hard drive and installing Windows on that.

    Now FYI lots of Linux distros have whats called a "Live" cd, meaning that you can download that image, burn it to a cd and then you have a bootable Linux cd that you can use to see if you like that distro or not.

    Though I didn't partition a drive (installed Suse 9.3 on a separate machine), I believe Suse creates it's own partition as well as a swap drive for it's use. Also included is GRUB. If you wish to uninstall it, no better help than to go to Novell website and search FAQ. Otherwise, do as someone else suggested, backup your Windoze partition and reformat your drive....

    If you backup windows will it fit a DVD ? if so do that and format the drive, install windows then use the backup.

    I don't quite understand why you can't perform a backup. Perhaps to CD or DVD (preferrably DVD since it holds more and requires less disks).

    yeah, well I already manualy saved stuff on a few dvds that were lying here and there, so i guess it wont matter that much if I reinstall windows.
