use DiskDrake here especially if you are going to delete the whole drive anyway. The 
exercise would be also be rewarding.

 
 One more question:
 
 I have a proftpd server running. I recently took some games I have in zip
 files and burned them to a CD and dumped them on the linux computer. If I
 download the game (via FTP) back to my windows computer and try unzipping
 them they always have some errors and will not work. The games work
 perfectly if I copy them off the CD to my windows computer so the files must
 be getting corrupted when being transferred via FTP.
 
 Does anyone have any knowledge of proftpd having problems with files that
 are over a certain size? The zip files (which have been make into .exe are
 about 172MB to 400+MB.
 
 Any help on either of these problems would be greatly appreciated.

how did you download the files? is the transfer set to binary? if by any chance you 
downloaded it using ascii then the zip files will be corrupted during transfer. im 
using a proftpd server here in the office and we are not experiencing transferring 
large files here, YMMV.


ciao!

[newbie] Format drive
