Linux screws with your partitions. Dunno why or how but whenever I've messed with it in the past it was a bitch to remove the crap from my hard drive even after formatting and re-creating partitions.

That's why I've never intalled Linux again, having to deal with getting my hard drive to work correctly again totaly turned me against it.

actually, windows is the bitch for partitions, it totally f**ks everything up

linux is easy to remove (heavan forbid)

insert DOS boot disk
run fdisk /mbr
run fdisk
remove all partitions
reboot
run fdisk
setup full logical dos drive
fdisk /mbr
format c:

done.

try installing windows after linux, it totally trashes everything

try installing linux after windows, the beauty of LILO shines
