live cd
terminal
sudo cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda1
let it run for a few seconds
this will kill the hard drive
next up partition the disk using
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
p to print it should show no valid paritions
create a large partition at the front of the disk
/ make it bootable ext3
and a 1 gig at the back end (for swap)
type sudo partprobe to have the device re read
then type sudo fdisk -l
partitions should show up
reboot (just so you know the partitions have taken
install as normal
(I've 15 years or more of doing this kind of thing and I had to do
exactly this last Wednesday)
Thanks ahead of time for any help.
