FORMAT MY HD "PleaseHelp"
 

ok so i have windows vista. i installed suse into a different partition,in drive C: ; now whenever i start windows i get the blue screen of death. so now i can boot into suse, but not windows. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO FORMAT MY HARD DRIVE(HD) USING LINUX? or someone tell me of a boot CD that is similar to windows, to format the drive...

1) i tried to boot with windows vista cd, but right before it get to the recovery council, the blue scree of death appears!

2) i used windows xp to boot up, again right before the recovery screen, the blue screen appears, not letting continue; because of errors.

3) i tried the "Ultimate BootCD" and it sucks. Also,Hiren's BootCD 9.1 i dont know how to use it. i did tryed both for many hours.

I need a windows like boot cd in order to format, and NO i dont have a floppy drive.

SOMEHOW I HAVE TO FORMAT MY C: DRIVE USING SUSE AND I HAVE TRIED LOOKING FOR A WAY AND I DONT KNOW HOW. AND WORST, I'M A COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR!!!

isn't there an option in the suse installer to format C:\?

not that i know of... so then i should try to install suse again and formate the drive as i reinstall

yes you should, go into the manual paritioning and delete all the paritions

thats what im doing as i type... do u know ok any windows like boot cd... because im seeing that it is shrinking the HD by it self, but im still waiting to see if i can...

it now gave me a menue with accept proposal,

base partition setup on this proposal

create custum partition setup

is this after or before you deleted the paritions?

well right now im trying to delete some partition, but there are so many, sda, sad1,sda2,sda3,sdb... but i did delet many more, like C: for example...,, cuz i was also trying to delete the old suse intallation

you deleted all the paritions or just the suse parition?

in my windows vista i had C:, which is now cousin problem.
D: for my recovery system
and E: which i put all my document and important information before installing suse ... just in case this would happen

if nothing else i'll buy a extrnal hd and transfer all of E: thing and reinstall windows, then try to install suse again...

you could boot from the windows vista disk and type fix mbr that should fix it
