[SATLUG] Re: Wiping the C: Drive and Installing FC 6

[scs at worldlinkisp.com]

Quick and easy just boot up in DOS and get the prompt
(A:\>_) and then do: A:\>_ < format C: >  
you will be queried " are you sure "  < yes >  ...
still back and watch, when done (formating) naming or
renaming the drive is your choice.

Now CD\C: and do  < fdisk , option 4 > and verify
your partition(s), then do < ESC > < ESC >. 

Assuming this isn't dual boot,you're good to go with
your FC 6 install.

Or as Chris Le Deax used to say " Let I'r Whril ."

 >I'm getting ready to install FC6 on a Dell laptop
currently running Windowz
ME.  I've got the files I need off of it, and I wish
to completely wipe off
the hard drive and install FC6.  Does anyone have any
recommended
programs/methods for clearing off the drive (OS too)?
 I've never erased a
hard drive before or installed Linux, so any
tips/warnings would be much
appreciated.
