uninstalling linux lite from terminal

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kevin Hansen:
I changed the boot priority in Bios but it just seems to default to linux every time or that grub menu.

Depending on the application ... You could try WINE in LL, or run WinXP as a VM in VirtualBox...
Remember XP is outdated - no updates - no security....



Else ditto what @Moltke suggests

I've tried to install it with the disc but it just goes to grub or something. How can I get it to install over Linux Lite? Thanks again.

You need to change the boot priority in BIOS settings, right now is booting from the HDD, where Linux Lite's installed, look for the option, so it boots from the
CD-ROM drive.

But you CAN also use the a LL liveusb (where you burned the ISO to a usb" boot to it and use gparted in the same manner...


OR reinstalling LL choosing the same partitions or formatting will overwrite the current install.


Kinda curious as to results your wanting?? formatting is erasing/prepping the disk - but not completely wiping it, lets say to get rid of all data in order to sell/give away the hard disk...
