I have a computer with 2 hard drives, one a 30GB with Windows XP PRO and a 2GB with Red Hat Linux 8.0. I can remove the partitons but my 30GB still wants to use the dual boot loader screen. I have heard a lot about something about "fdisk /mbr" Help please

if you wish to put it in the windows install you can either grab a 9x bootdisk and format it with that or go to the webpage for the drive and find a format utility
the fdisk would work. fdisk comes on 9x bootdisks i believe

WIN98 disks are not going to help. He is running WIN XP PRO. If you have the XP CD put the disk in the CD ROM Drive and reboot.
During the reboot it will say "Bootable CD Detected. Press Any Key To Boot From CD". Do it. You will then be given some choices on
what to do next. You want "Repair". Somewhere at that point you want to fix MBR. It should create a new MBR without the
Linux partition information.
go to http://www.microsoft.com in the IT professional area and look there for the full instructions.
But if you use the WIN98 disk you WILL fuck it up.

:rolleyes: That's wierd.. I used a win98 bootup disc fine. As long as you reformat the master boot record using "fdisk /mbr" then you're fine but if you do anything else... then you may be right.

Yes, because I had it fuck up my OS. I did use the WIN98 disk and it messed it up. It may work for a doul boot between 2 WIN OS' but you are looking at 2 totally different systems.

Yeah but you make it look like I didn't know what I was talking about. I do this all the time at work when I need to fdisk something. You just got to know what you are doing. And plus all Yano asked for is fdisking. I was just telling him what to use to fdisk.
