RE: removing redhat 6.1

["biscut" <biscut biscut screaming net>]

Benjamin,
Unfortuantely you cant remove it by using fdisk, mainly because the
equivalent of logical drives get set up, when you go into fdisk and select
the option to remove the logical drives in the extended partition then DOS
doesnt recognise these drives and says that no logical drives exist, if you
then try to remove the extended partition then you will get another error
saying that you cant remove the partition whilst logical drives exist, it
seems like it is a catch 22 situation, thats why you have to use the linux
fdisk ( thats been my experiences anyway) or disk druid to remove the
partitions, then you can go into the DOS version of fdisk and set up the
partition sizes for win98 etc.
