Formatting
To completely get rid of Slackware, all I have to do is rewrite my partitions? So boot in with the CD, do fdisk /dev/hda, and delete every single one. Then write the new set.
I'am asking because I want to reinstall the distro, since I screwed something up, and it wont even get past the loading screen. |
You should be able to wipe out your drive using fdisk after you booted the setup disk (floppy or CD). If you cannot boot that, it sounds like a BIOS issue.
Edit: To clarify: Yes, just boot the CD and delete or reformat with fdisk. If you want to keep your partition scheme I don't think you need to run fdisk at all, as the installer will format them for you (I think). |
Alright excellent. I'am able to boot with the CD, i'am not just able to boot into Slackware.
It doesnt matter, I didnt have anything important on there installed. So I do this: fdisk my drive and delete all the partitions. then just recreate them. |
