How to Remove Parquet Floor (Advice Needed)

Tags: Flooring & Stairs
I have parquet flooring in my dining room, and 2 entry areas that appears to be glued to the sub-floor. What is the best (and easiest) way to get this floor up? I have hardwood and ceramic tile to go in it's place so I need get this up and can't find any information on how to do it.

I appreciate it.

good old elbow grease, lots of drinks, and a weighted flooring scraper (availabe at most tool and equipment rental facilities).
