Raistlin666 Posted February 27, 2008 CID Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have an Acer laptop, but did something stupid with it. I tried to put a bootleg ver of Linux on it, but can't get rid of it now T_T At first I was able to put windows back on as another partion and have it start with that at the beginning, but now it wants to start as linux only now, but I can't format it to save my life. And even when I do, some of the linux remains so it still won't work. It's not that I don't know how to use Linux, I tried to get it fast, and ended up getting a messed up copy of it. (My fault I know) Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted February 27, 2008 CID Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Raistlin666, Since we aren't sure of the configuration, and boot files, I would reccommend that you download a version of "gparted live" @ http://download.tuxfamily.org/gpartedlive/, this is a live cd where you will be able to partition, and set flags on your drive as well as erase the partition you want . Set as boot , or many other options. Always install windows first, then the Linux distro, was it Mandriva that you installed , just pay attention to the partitioning, and know which one is what .( would be my guess if the partition tables got mess up) Or Ubuntu?
