Reformat. Same way you would uninstall any OS.

Or just use it, whatever works. Who knows, you may like it.

Just install whatever you want over top of it. Any OS will ask you to partition and format your drive during the installation process, effectively "uninstalling" whatever was previously there.

Why do you want to "uninstall" it anyways? Just use it if it's already setup and ready!

I would keep it but its not compatable with the software that I use for work. I can just take my disk that has all my software and it will pretty much over ride what I have now? If thats the case then sweet deal!!!

yeah you can write over whats on the disk. i'd just stick with linux if i was you. you can always install wine and use that for compatibility w/ your windows-based apps you need for work, unless its something really specialized in which case perhaps it wouldn't make sense. but what others said. pop in a windows cd and reboot, or just use mandriva. whatever.

With a windows OS disk? And it won't boot to the CD? What exactly happens? Details become important and saying it won't load doesn't tell us enough to help you much.

Check boot order if its another lovely install residing on the "recovery" partition. Seen that one several times.
