Thanks for your answer Alexey, Excuse my ignorance, I have never tried to do anything like this before! I have managed to run fdisk and type fdisk/dev/hda but get: no such file or directory. Can you tell me where I am going wrong? Thanks and regards Janet -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alexey Fadyushin Sent: 30 March 2005 15:48 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Linux Setup Floppy Disc You can use Linux installation CD-ROMs. Boot from CD-ROM and run the installation in the rescue mode. When the installation program will switch to command prompt use `fdisk` command which should be present on the installation CD-ROM (you will need only the first CD-ROM from the installation set). Or, if you have a working copy of Linux on the machine on which you need to delete partitions, you can run inslalled Linux and use fdisk which is installed as part of Linux on that machine. Alexey B.
