Alright, so I'm stuck in linux and I can't boot into windows and I know that windows is still on my system, so I'm thinking about jusr uninstalling linux altogether (By the way, I'm using SuSE). Anyway, it says that if I want to uninstall SuSE and I have a windows on the same computer, I should make a boot floppy of the windows OS. First off, what does a boot floppy do, and second, how would I make one?

Alright, I have an idea. Since I need a new hard drive, I will buy a new HD (which I need), back up all my windows files on it, and delete the linux off of my older HD. Will it be alright?

You should be able to re-run the Linux installer and skip directly to the part concerning the bootloader. Reinstalling the bootloader, with it recognizing Windows, should fix the problem.

Okay, I had an idea of putting all my windows files on the new 250 gig HD and doing something with the old 160 gig but now my linux isn't recognizing the new HD. What do I do to make it recognize it?

like i said .... format it to a ext3 or a ext2 format ... its NTFS equivalent for linux.
