Help - delete harddrive using slax
hey,
I'm having serious issues with my vista and have slax burnt on a cd and was wondering what commands i can use to delete my harddrive and put vista on it again. i was able to get all my data backed up to an external drive by using the slax though. thanks |
Thios is in readme's and howto's all over the place. Read the docs on the CD. The install should guide you through.
If you have no data on the vista partition, you do not need vista One way: Partition the disk Vista(ntfs), swap, boot(ext3), & /(ext3) vista and boot are optional, and need not be large. Run vista install; Run linux install. |
Hi,
Welcome to LQ! Quote:
If you just want to wipe the drive then just use the 'Vista' install cd to setup the partition accordingly. You could then use the M$ tools to re-size for the partition(s) to allow a Linux install. :hattip: |

Well you can delete the hard drive, but if it won't boot your CD you won't have much luck installing it afterwards then,likely the disc is damaged or corrupt. I would look for a new Windows Disc, or contact the manufacturer for a OEM Copy of the disc for your computer. If you don't feel like shooting any of those directions, you either can use it as a paperweight(sorry for negativity), OR install linux distro.
