After recovering your Windows boot you should be able to delete or reconvert your Linux partitions to NTFS, FAT32 or (winfs if it had been developed) .Quote from: chef11994 on 2009/09/26, 18:06:40 pm You bet I will donate.Thank you! adrian15 Logged If you have liked this piece of advice please consider donating to the Super Grub Disk project.
