    Uninstalling Fedora 11

    Hey guys,

    I tried fedora 11, but it wasn't really for me.
    Now I would like to uninstall it and use Windows XP instead.
    But when booting from the winxp disk, the only partition I can see, is the flash drive I am installing from.
    I was told to uninstall grub, but the fixmbr command doesn't do anything for me.

    Please help me guys

    Windows can have trouble seeing the harddrive when formatted to linux file partitions. Reformat the drive to FAT32 or NTFS and then try. You should be able to do this from pretty much any live linux CD that includes gparted. I personally like Parted Magic.

    I tried reformating the disk to NTFS and FAT32. Can still only see the USB drive...
    Any other ideas?
