my son had xp on his machine and later using pqmagic( on my disk and he
connected his hdd as a slave) created a swap partition within a partition
and installed linux in that partition. he has now no use for linux and now
the question is "how to uninstall linux without any damage". we shall be
thankful for any advice.

Hi!
There may be two ways:-
1].Enter the booting with a simple Windows 98 start-up
floppy and with the command "fdisk" you can view the
partitions.Now follow the on screen instructions and delete
that very partition.
2]With the help of Partition magic you can delete the
partition,containing Linux.

If its booting to some linux boot loader, you may need to reset the mbr. Try

fdisk /mbr

Either before or after deleting the partition. But if it was booting off the
linux partition, you may have trouble booting. Make sure you keep a boot
disk handy.
