is this possible??????
 

im going to install SuSE linux 9.0 FTP tonight probably. if i do this and SuSE messes up my computer royally and something doesnt work is there a way i can stick in my reformatting discs and put in windows and bring by computer back to running under windows? ... in simpler terms if i put linux in and then i try to put windows back in by putting in the discs that i reformat my pc with will it bring windows back and get rid of linux?:Pengy:

Yes it will.

woot looks like ill be installing linux tonight.

May I humbly offer a debug script to remove non DOS partitions? This is what I use when I botch a Linux install or get tired of what's on my hard drive and I want to get rid of everything on the drive, including partition info that fdisk can't seem to remove. I know of no other way to make the drive more blank. (except to expose it to a strong magnetic field) Here it is:

Boot with a windoze 98 boot disk.
type the following lines and hit enter after each one.
debug
f 200 l1000 0
a cs:100
mov ax,301
mov bx,200
mov cx,1
mov dx,80
int 13
int 20
(just hit enter once now)
g

it should say "program terminated normally". Just reboot and run fdisk and format and install any darn thing you want.

Hugs and kisses,
Robert

Sorry for the simple text, look closely at the first line of commands, it is phonetically: ef space two hundred space el onethousand space zero (enter).
