Greetings;
Here's my piddly little situation:
I installed a second hard drive on my home machine last summer and have had RH6.2 on
it since; however, due to work-at-home issues at our house recently, I need to
uninstall RH and recover the drive for WinDoze apps, and then try out RH7 and some
other Linux distros on another machine that I just built from cannabalized parts.
I managed to blow away LILO but am having trouble reformatting the drive; I tried it
from the DOS shell and also using Partition Magic, which clearly displays the half
dozen or so partitions I have with RH but will only allow me to format the Win32
partition of 40MB and I can't recover the other 15GB of space that I need from the
other partitions; in fact, the "format" option is grayed out on the drop-down menu.
I must be missing something really basic and stupid here; does anyone have a quick
and easy way for me to reformat the drive and put it into WinDoze Purgatory?
Thanks for your consideration, and I must say I have yet to run across a real bastard
yet among the whole bunch of you; those I have in abundance here at work. Looking
forward to the next NNH LUG meeting and also the geekfest down in Hopkinton, nicely
described by maddog.
