I recently installed Ubuntu Linux 8.04 and did the usual, 1 Ext 3 partition and 1 linux swap partition. Later, when I tried to un-install Ubuntu and install Windows XP i couldn't remove the swap partition. I tried partition magic, but it kept returning an error message saying 'sector not found'.
So I tried to install Kubuntu in hopes that that might work. It removed the swap, but then created a new one for the install, so I am now back to where i was before, unable to remove the swap or install XP.
I have tried QT Parted as well to try and remove the partition but nothing works, delete is just grayed out
Any ideas?
By the way, if i just try and use the XP partitioner, it hangs on 'setup is inspecting your hardware setup'
