I have a seperate 20 gb hdd with 9.1 installed.There are any number of ways,
Just taken delivery of a new machine with a 80gb hdd i am going to install 9.2 on this disk and intend to sell the other
disk.
How do I format this disk with linux on it so it can be sold as a clean
disk.
Thanks Philip
With the old HD still in place,
1) Shove an old windblows boot disk in the A drive and run to an A: prompt and use fdisck to remove all the old partitions and format the whole drive.
2) Use Partition Magic .
With the HD inserted in IDE as slave on new computer,
3) If you have a spare IDE connection on your new machine, plug the old HD in as slave, let the computer's bios detect it , run the CD1 istallation disc to the partition/formating programme and remove everything.
4) If you already have something like W2K /XP , or Mandrake on your new machine, put up a consol and remove and reformat everything as administrator with the second HD plugged in the IDE line as slave.
