Linux...yeah....I sent for the disk...got it...installed it....cost me US$80 for a complete re-format thanks to NO UNISTALL feature on the Linux disk.
hings they never mention....
I’ve never seen any operating system with an ‘uninstall’ feature. Simply format it and install whatever you want.
What? Did you pay someone $80 to reformat your disk? It’s too bad you’re not my neighbor, I’d have done it for half.
Linux disk installation procedure has a format option. Windows installation disks have format options. Why didn’t you use one?
What version of Linux did you get? Ubuntu? I recommend PCLinuxOS myself. It’s made for the non-CLI guy, the GUI kinda guy, like me.
The only linux distros that have a capability for uninstallation are those which are installed in a VM - you open up the second operating system like you would open up an application ala office.
If you do a reformat and install a different operating system there can’t be an uninstall feature.
=========hings they never mention....============
All linux distros warn you during the installation process that they are going to delete everything on the hard drive before you do it. Even in CLI mode. Delete = gone. They shouldn’t have to tell you that one.
That’s one of the best(useful) pop up windows in computing history, I’d think.
You could have just installed it in it’s own partition and left whatever os you had still on there. For $80 I would have happy to do it for you.
If you had to pay someone 80$ to reformat a disk what were you doing trying to install something in the first place?
Sounds like the ID10T interface on the mouse and keyboard was defective.
hey, for $80..0, I would have done that, reinstalled your old clunky OS, your apps, AND washed the windows for your Wife! :)
Excuse me? Are you saying you installed an operating system assuming you would be able to uninstall later?
