Uninstalling Red Hat 7

[db2teck]

Somebody tried W95 fdisk on my Red Hat 7 disk and, I think, damaged MBR. I can't boot (error "file system corrupt&quot and fdisk can not remove partitions. How the disk can be reformated? Thanks

Try running the red hat install disk and when the partitioning disk questions arise choose to delete all partitions. Exit the install at this stage.
Boot from a dos floppy with the fdisk command on it.
Type fdisk/mbr
This replaces the master boot record of the disk and should leave you with a disk ready to install any OS.
The alternative is to low-level format the whole disk.
I can email instructions for doing this if you need them.

Will.

Thanks, Will
I'll try to delete partitions with install disk.
