uninstalling redhat

[joat25]

trying to uninstall red hat(6.2). even after i delete all the partitions in disk druid and reboot, fdisk still sees the linux partition (that i obviously can't delete). has anyone run into this? and yes, i saved the changes to the drive partition table in disk druid.
all help is greatly appreciated.

start a redhat install, but choose fdisk instead of disk druid. select the disk, then at the prompt press d (for delete) and choose the partition number (1-4). repeat as neccessary to clear the drive. press p (for print) to verify all your partitions are gone. then press w (for write) and once fdisk quits reboot.

hope this helps!

I think I had the same problem you are experiencing, I removed the Linux partition with fdisk but found that I still got the LI part of LILO when I rebooted.
All you need to do is use fdisk /mbr and that will rewrite the master boot record.

thanks for your help.
i finally got it deleted. had to use expert mode and delete the partitions from the prompt, then remove LILO from the MBR.
