+ <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 give you also
+ the possibility to be uninstalled. That is not true for every operating
+ system. </para>
+
+ <para>After your data backup, reboot on your Mageia DVD and select Rescue
+ system, then, Restore Windows boot loader. At the next boot, you will only
+ have Windows without any menu to choose your operating system. </para>
+
+ <para>To get back the place used by Mageia partitions on Windows, click on
+ <code>Start -&gt; Control Panel -&gt; Administrative Tools -&gt; Computer
+ Management -&gt; Storage -&gt; 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 there size and place
+ in the disk. Right click on one of these partitions and select
+ <guibutton>Delete</guibutton>. The space will be freed. </para>
+
+ <para>If you have 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 hand of the free space.
+ It also exists in the shops or in the Internet, shareware, free or not,
+ that allows more possibilities for XP, Vista or 7 (Gparted for example).
+ That is at your own risk. </para>
