<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 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 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. 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>
