one can ALWAYS reformat a drive
( you CAN NOT however reformat a drive that is in use ) pop in Gparted live cd reboot reformat install operating system |
Hi. Do you want to keep the current OS, could try in a terminal:
Code:
sudo passwd if you simply want to wipe the drive and install you may need to set the bios to boot to CD or USB? Best wishes and have fun. :) :Edits. |
