Re: installing windows after linux

Sammy, is H a drive or partition. If you don't want to proceed with
the install on H, I would start over and remove the H partition
or drive. You should be able to use the WinXP CD to delete or create
partitions and select which partition you want to install
WinXP.

No it is not a partition. I guess Linux has renamed the drive letters. I
already got sp2 and sp3 on I hate to start over but I want it right.

What are you trying to do? Do you want to keep Linux and configure a
dual-boot?

Sammy, like Daave said " What are you trying to do"
Do you still have the Linux distro's installed and are using Grub?
