If for any reason you want to uninstall
Mageia, you can do so. The process of
uninstalling Mageia is done in two steps:
Removing partitions on your hard drive will inevitably result in the loss of
all data stored on those partitions. Please make sure you've backed up all
of the data you want to keep before proceeding.
Delete all partitions related to Mageia on your

and the Swap partition) and — optionally — replace
them with a single partition using
DiskDrake (see ).

the bootloader, LILO in this example,
from the Master Boot Record (MBR). To do so, execute
lilo -U in a console, as root. Doing

restore the previous master boot record, if any.
If you have a different boot loader, please refer to its documentation to
determine how to regenerate the master boot record.
