To remove Linux from your second hard
disk, boot your computer with the
Windows installation disk, remove any
partitions on the second hard drive,
reboot the computer (with the Windows
installation disk), create one or more
new partition(s) on the second hard
drive and format then ntfs, reboot the
computer again with the Windows
installation disk, start the recovery
console and run the fixmbr C:
command. reboot the computer (without
the Windows installation disk. Windows
should start as it did before installing
Linux.

NOTE: All the reboots may not be
required, but as I recall in Windows, any
time you do any thing, you must restart
the computer. Good Luck . . .

HTH,
