It does nothing to the rest of the disk. This will remove grub or lilo and make pristine the mbr for MS systems. Using a win85 boot disk will make it so that fat 32 is recognized on boot. Earlier versions like DOS 5 have this option but later versions are better. In my experience any version of fdisk can be forced to destroy any partition. It may balk and complain that it is looking at an unknown file system but I cannot remember it not working. I am also pretty sure that win2k disk manager can delete an unknown partition as well. I like the way my computer is now setup so I am not going to attempt to prove it but I am pretty sure I have done it. There is no reason to get superstitious about disk partitions. This part of the technology is dictated by the hardware protocol and is not really operating system specific. The Linux version of fdisk is superior because it is so versatile and supports so many different file systems, has a more complete set of options, etc.. So in closing if the install balks use any fdisk to delete your partitions and restart the install. It will work. Jim Scott Of course maybe you shouldn't listen to me.
