| 304148 | 2004-12-16 19:14:00 | Using FDISK I cannot delete partitions in drive to start clean. I have tried using all deletion options # 4,3,2,1 with no success. No option appears saying you are about to delete this partition etc. Suggestions please. |

| 304149 | 2004-12-16 19:23:00 | Are you trying to wipe the whole drive clean (which also contains the OS)? The installation CD for XP has options for removing and creating new paritions as part of the installation process. If these partitions don't contain the OS, then you should be able to use the Disk Management tool of XP/W2K to delete the partitions within Windows. |

| 304150 | 2004-12-16 19:23:00 | I dont think u can use Fdisk for NTFS. What are you going to install ?? XP or other?? If XP, use the XP CD to do a clean install. That'll let you delete the partitions, when u go to install XP. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 304154 | 2004-12-16 20:37:00 | Another good program for removing partitions is AEFDisk just put it on a floppy works good. | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 304155 | 2004-12-16 21:12:00 | Here's (www.russelltexas.com) the tool that I use to delete NTFS partitions. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 304156 | 2004-12-16 22:02:00 | i use ranish (www.ranish.com) for all my partitoning needs. simple but effective :) but having said that you should be able to do it with XP during install. | tweak'e (69) | ||
