Linux 9? Sounds cool. Anyway, why not format the drive? Does it matter. I mean, if you want to get rid of Linux 9 completely. It sure is faster then deleting every file.

if you are checking into just going back to windows then you may want to check into partition magic.... but if you want to install another version of linux just boot to the install disk and in the process of installing you should be given the option to format the drive. then you can just point it to the old RH9 partition/drive and let it do it magic.

if you want to totally eradicate any trace of Linux, have a look at the program `shred'.
