Virtualization (again)

[walt kautz]

Hey, John The research that  i did said you could
remove it in add and remove programs. I didn`t Use it
because linux is mounted on a different drive.(f) If
you want to keep them both on the same drive you can
use a wubi, google linux wubi It is supposed to change
back and forth with a click of your mouse. good luck
