We have Suse 9.0 installed on a desktop here at work. It was installed to test the Manhattan online education app.
We now need to remove Suse 9.0 from that machine -- is it possible to do so without harming the Win98 also on the same HDD?
You can just delete the partitions containing Linux and using a DOS or Windows boot floppy, run fdisk /mbr to restore Windows boot. You can then format the empty space as another partition, or resize the Windows partition, to fill the disk (backup first).
Just don't forget a simple fact: if you remove/reformat/repartition your disk, remember to create a Win98 boot disk *before* rebooting - there is a big change that grub will be completely lost (/boot/grub/menu.lst missing or removed), and won't boot anything. Of course grub has built-in menu so you can handle situations like that; better avoid if possible. If you have another computer available, well... much easier :-) -- Marcos Lazarini
