Removing linoleum from a concrete floor

Tags: Flooring & Stairs
HELP! I have spent several days scrapping 12" square linoleum tiles from a basement concrete floor. My hands and back HURT. I have yet another room to remove the tiles from. I want to get the floor bare so I can put down a concrete water sealant on the floor. It has got to be an easier way of getting those tiles up. Does anyone know?????
