List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all. I was having trouble installing Slackware Linux on a computer so I tried it on my development hard drive. I was going to reinstall Windows on it anyway so I tested the Slackware install and all went well. But now I have to remove Linux and reinstall Windows 98 SE. The problem is that even though I repartitioned the hard drive and reformatted it with my windows startup disk, the LILO menu still appears. I assume the menu is written on the boot sector of the hard drive and my reformatting does not erase it. Can anyone tell me how to totally clear my hard drive so I can do a fresh install of a different OS? Rodney
