Windows 10: Windows filesystem won't recognise Linux partition

Hi,Recently I installed Linux mint on the HDD of an old workstation that I own. I installed Linux mint onto the HDD by disconnecting the SATA cable that connects my windows boot drive from the SSD, and then installed Linux on the second drive using a Linux mint CD-ROM that I made myself.When I entered back into windows, in partition manager the entire disk that Linux is installed on is "Unallocated", despite having Linux installed on it. This is not a problem inside Linux Mint, as it correctly identifies all the partitions on my windows boot drive.This is a problem as I want to be able to crea

Restoring Windows while Removing Linux

A few months ago a friend suggested I try Linux Mint on an older and spare laptop that was running sluggishly. After several months I've come to the conclusion that I prefer Windows. But, how do I restore Windows?

The machine is an Acer Aspire 7745 that was originally running Windows 7. At some point I upgraded it to Windows 10 although at this stage if I could restore it to factory settings and Windows 7 that would be fine with me.

I've tried the standard Acer formula for restoring it (Alt + F10) but the machine just beeps until I release the keys and then boots into Linux.

I've tried loading a flash drive with Windows Media Creation Tool to install Windows 10 (and set the BIOS to boot from USB flash drive) but when I try to boot up the machine tells me to remove all media and press any key before it then boots, again, into Linux.

If I boot into Linux and go to Disks I see

Filesystem Partition 1 (Partition Type: W95 FAT32 (Bootable)) which I can "unmount," "delete," Format, Edit Partition, Edit Filesystem, Resize, Check, Repair, Edit Mount Options, Create Partition Image, Restore Partition Image, Benchmark Partition.

Extended Partition 2 (Partition type: Extended) which I can "delete," Edit, Resize, Create Partition Image, Restore Partition Image, Benchmark Partition

Filesystem Partition 5 (Partition Type: Linux) which offers the same options as Partition 1

Essentially, I want to completely remove Linux and restore Windows even if that means wiping the hard drive.

What are the possibilities?

 

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
