+ <p>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.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>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.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>To recover the space used by Mageia partitions on Windows, click on
+ <code class="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 <span class="guilabel">Unknown</span>, and also by their size and place
+ in the disk. Right click on each of these partitions and select
+ <span class="guibutton">Delete</span>. The space will be freed.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>If you are using Windows XP, you can create a new partition and format it (FAT32
+ or NTFS). It will get a partition letter.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>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.
