Scarecrow Man Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks Scuzz.. I ended up just using a 98 boot disk. required about 25 keystrokes to do each one, but got the job done in the end.basically:2 (no cd rom support)fdiskenter (for large disk support, possibly 1 more for ntfs)3 (delete partition)1 (1st partition)1 (confirm which partition)LOCAL DISK (volume label)y (are you sure?)esc (exit)power offperhaps I will try the Linux option next time.

Scarecrow Man Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Alternatively, I heard of someone making an image of a formatted disk, and imagine the machine.. the blank image takes mearly seconds to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
