Gang, A 40G drive that I thought was bad (when trying to install W2K on the drive) may be entirely good. I am trying to avoid having to buy a DOS/Win platform. I've had both W2K and FBSD or Ubuntu on this one machine. For various reasons I need one DOS machine. (Already have 7 or 8 *Nix servers.) The Windows 2000 "Professional" CD find some other non-Windows partition and press "D" and "L" as I will, the installation CD keeps complaining. Eventually I have to hit F3 to quit. So, nutshell, is there any way I can completely remove any trace of *Nix? -----I remember having a DOS floppy and typing an undocumented MBR \ command that wiped the drive clean of this boot record, but this was [mumble] years ago. thanks for any tips, y'all, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
