remove windows from hd dualbooted w/ Simply Mepis
I have dualbooted Simply Mepis w/ winxp.I want to remove winxp so that I can add more Linux distros. I am running a 1200 meg athlon cpu, 512 megs of ddr ram and 30 gig hd. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am leaving windoze for good. I have dualbooted all 5 puters in my home and am going to remove windoze from all of them. Thanks, Woob:confused: :scratch:

Remove the Windows stanza from grub or lilo (don't forget to run /sbin/lilo after if using lilo as your bootloader).
Erase your Windows partition (assuming /dev/hda1). dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 bs=512. Format the ex Windows partition(s) with the chosen filesystems: mke2fs /dev/hdXX formats an ext2 filesystem mke2fs -j /dev/hdXX -> formats an ext3 filesystem mkswap /dev/hdXX -> formats a swap filesystem mkreiserfs /dev/hdXX -> formats a reiserfs filesystem mkfs.xfs /dev/hdXX -> formats an xfs filesystem |
Thanks Fancy I will give that a try
