+ <para>If Mageia didn't convince you or you can't install it correctly, in short
+you want get rid of it. That is your right and Mageia also gives you the
+possibility to uninstall. This is not true for every operating system.</para>
+
+ <para>After your data backup, reboot your installation Mageia DVD and select
+Rescue system, then, Restore Windows boot loader. At the next boot, you will
+only have Windows with no option to choose your operating system.</para>
+
+ <para>To recover the space used by Mageia partitions on Windows, click on
+<code>Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management
+-> Storage -> Disk Management</code> to access to the partition
+management. You will recognize the Mageia partition because they are labeled
+<guilabel>Unknown</guilabel>, and also by their size and place in the
+disk. Right click on each of these partitions and select
+<guibutton>Delete</guibutton>. The space will be freed.</para>
+
+ <para>If you are using Windows XP, you can create a new partition and format it
+(FAT32 or NTFS). It will get a partition letter.</para>
+
+ <para>If you have Vista or 7, you have one more possibility, you can extend the
+existing partition that is at the left of the freed space. There are other
+partitioning tools that can be used, such as gparted, available for both
+windows and linux. As always, when changing partitions, be very careful, and
+make sure all important things have been backed up.</para>
