FRESH INSTALL is BEST, if "DATA" NOT NEEDED.
-ERASES EVERYTHING- (within DOD standards)
*You probably don't need to FDISK, unless the current HDD has "multiple"
partitions.
*If it does, Boot from 98se bootdisk, type FDISK, press ENTER, use Basic
partition (one partition only for everything).
*Shutdown the power.
To erase the HDD, you Format the HDD.
====
Format the Hard Disk:
*You can use your hard disk only after FORMAT. -->(New HDD or after FDISK)
Format as follows:
1. Boot computer into WS-DOS using your Boot Disk. (
www.bootdisk.com)
2. At the "A" prompt (A:\) type the following:
format c: /U /C /S (assume c:\ drive letter)
Command Legend:
/U= Unconditional Format - ignores deleted cluster fragments
/C= Re-tests currently marked bad clusters for recovery
/S= Transfers necessary system files so disk can boot
3. Type "Y" for yes, press Enter to proceed with format.
4. Once format is complete, type a volume label if you want one and press
ENTER.
