Use your Red Hat installation procedure, selecting the Expert mode. Go through to the partioning section, and remove all the Linux partitions. Use fdisk /dev/hdb It tells you how to get help. Finish with w then q (after p shows the drive totally free). Then just turn the power off, and start with MS stuff. |
