original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM
If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:
1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.
2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.
3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

We have Acrobat 9 Pro running on both PCs, with 7 and 8 operating system. We would like to turn off a computer with 8 because we get it. We want to disable Acrobat, then download on a Mac pro. However, we have not the deactivate option available in the drop down aid. Disabling is visible on another desktop computer. Can you advise us on how to disable it on the old laptop and download on the new laptop Mac?
You can't do that. If you have a license for Windows, you can not use it on a Mac.
In addition, Acrobat 9 is obsolete and is not compatible with any current operating system (including Windows 8, which is said by the way).

I would like to know how to install Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 Enterprise from a USB key, please.
I'm not trying to run either on the USB key, I just need to know how to install from a USB key. I tried Multiboot, grub for DOS and other, but they do not seem to work :/
I am going through a book that uses these two to form Microsoft MCITP: Server 2008 Administrator and if I could install these Via USB, this would save my records and a lot of hassle... basically just for convenience, as everything that I need will be on a stick * lol *.
Otherwise, I'll have to use discs instead :)

After a new installation of Vista 64 Ultimate w/SP1, download and install SP2. Several updates auto installed without problem, but the languages other than English are not being offered as if they were on the previous installation. I have deparately need to install one of them.
How can I get the update to bring me languages? MUI, I think they are.Microsoft said that SP2 with full language support will not be available until later.
I suspect that this is your problem.

I bought a "Windows Vista SP1 Upgrade disc" Wal-Mart and on the accident. I thought it was a full version, but turned out to be upgraded. How can I install this drive to upgrade on my computer if I do not already have an existing operating system?
You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.
Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner
