Can you delete a Linux partition using a DOS fdisk command? Try it and
then post.
What happens is this...
1. You load fdisk and lookout for the partitions.
2. It should you partitions..
3. But you can not delete the Linux partitions as it says partitions
contain logical drives
and it will not allow you to see those logical partitions since it
does not know how to
show those.
With DOS fdisk, you are pretty much stuck, take my word for it. What you
do is fire up ddruid or cfdisk from Linux itself. Trust me. Works
wonderfully.
