<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 backing up your data, reboot your Mageia installation DVD and select
<span class="emphasis"><em>Rescue system</em></span>, then <span class="emphasis"><em>Restore Windows boot
loader</em></span>. At the next boot, you will only have Windows, with no
option to choose your Mageia operating system.
</p>
<p>In Windows, to recover the space used by Mageia partitions: click on
<span class="guimenu">Start</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Control
Panel</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Administrative Tools</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Computer Management</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Storage</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Disk
Management</span>. You will recognise a Mageia
partition because they are labeled <code class="literal">Unknown</code>, and also by
their size and place on the disk. Right-click on each of these partitions
and select <span class="emphasis"><em>Delete</em></span> to free up the space.
</p>
<p>If you are using Windows XP, you can create a new partition and format it
(FAT32 or NTFS). It will then 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 <span class="bold"><strong>gparted</strong></span>, available for both Windows and Linux. As
always, when changing partitions, be very careful to back up anything
important to you.
