    How to uninstall Puppy linux from dual boot?

    Puppy version 5 dual boot with XP on 1 HDD.
    I decide to uninstall Puppy because Puppy and my RTL8185 wireless cards don't like each other. Puppy freezes when I run network Wizard.

    Try the fixmbr command. This command will re-write the mbr data and will remove the Puppy GRUB loader. For more information see: HERE and HERE

    Screw Google! Ask me!

    Alboguy's hit it spot on. If that doesn't work, then you've got one seriously messed up system.
