Re: If you are reinstalling a Windows OS, simply put the install disc in the drive and reboot the computer (boot to the CD drive, of course). The install procedure will give you the option to format the hard drive which should remove Ubuntu. Don Hi Don .... Yes that`s a very good suggestion . I really don`t want Windows XP on this new hard drive ... of course I could install then format the new Windows installation to get back to a clean hard disk then install Linspire which Netzero my ISP support`s . Going the other way, I have Partition Magic, so I could set up a separate partition for Linspire and have a dual boot machine . Anyway`s ... thank you for the insight and your answer .
