Hello, It would be a best practice for a program to erase the MBR if it says it is going to erase the entire disk. Alternatively, you can use a program like DBAN, the DISKPART command under Microsoft Windows (select the correct disk, and issue a CLEAN command), or even a DOS boot disk (run "FDISK /MBR" to replace the MBR code, followed by running FDISK interactively to delete the partitions). A disk editing program could be used as well.
