Can I uninstall Mandrake Linux operating system from Windows? How?
I have both Mandrake Linux 9.0 and Windows XP Home Edition operating system. But I can’t open the Mandrake Linux because of I can’t enter the login (My login is "satria", but when I enter, it always shows as "satr5a", I think I have input the wrong keyboard configuration when I was installing it). Unfortunately, the Mandrake Linux has used 10 GB from Windows partition and I can’t open it to unistall it. So, what should I do? Can I uninstall the Mandrake Linux from Windows, and how? I install the Linux in Toshiba Notebook. Please help me to solve this problem. Also tell me the step how to uninstall it.

Yes, but you probably won’t be able to merge your drive back into one again, unless you buy a disk partitioning tool.
Before you began you probably had a single C: drive that used all of your hard disk. When you installed Mandrake it needed to make room for itself so it partitioned your disk into smaller pieces. It also probably installed a boot loader that gives you the choice of what OS to boot.
So you’ve got two things to do.
First, you need a DOS system boot floppy if you’ve got a floppy drive, or you need to research how to boot a system disk from some other drive you do have available.
When you are booted into DOS, type the following to delete the Mandrake boot screen:
FDISK /MBR
(there is a space between "K" and "/"
Second, load windows and go into Computer Management in the Control Panel. Select Disk Management and delete the partitions that Mandrake created (everything but C: probably). Then reformat the free space and assign it a new drive letter, like E or F.
hello
10 gb .gosh just delete the partition
