That's not quite how I read it, but... gdisk has an option to completely erase both GPT and DOS partition tables. Why anyone would choose to use the ultra-kludged DOS partition tables when GPT is so much more elegant is beyond me, unless they have old hardware that can't read a GPT disk. -- Neil Bothwick OS/2: Obsolete Soon, Too
