killdisk????

What is "killdisk" if not removing all reconstructing partitions, and then rebuilding and reformating them???

152799 2003-06-18 22:22:00 This is truly amusing....
I appear to have fixed "prat" (yes i gave the machine an appropriate name)

How.. you may ask???
I threatened it with a copy of redhat9 in the CD rom..
It booted up and gave a message that windows had found errors and fixed them.

It would appear that "prat" is truly afraid of change..
.....will update to say just how long this machine behaves under threat of the dreaded LINUX DISK
