<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 -> 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.
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>
