Uninstalling Mageia

Howto

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.

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.

To recover the space used by Mageia partitions on Windows, click on + Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer + Management -> Storage -> Disk Management to access to the + partition management. You will recognize the Mageia partition because they + are labeled Unknown, and also by their size and place + in the disk. Right click on each of these partitions and select + Delete. The space will be freed.

If you are using Windows XP, you can create a new partition and format it (FAT32 + or NTFS). It will get a partition letter.

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.
