Problem with partitioning -- How to format hard drive and reinstall Windows?

[peter wu]

Thanks for your kind reply. Yes, I am getting a  lot of good tips, but I am still not sure what I can do. I now have the  ultimate boot CD, but can't quite find the right tools. You mentioned a  disk wiper utility, but I can't seem to find it. Which one would that  be? Would it basically kill everything?
  
  Also, how can I use fdisk and format? What do I need to do if I just  want to format Linux partitions? If it's possible, won't it affect  Windows partitions?
  
  Thanks for your help, in advance.

Get yourself a hold of the ultimate boot cd (www.ultimatebootcd.com).

It will boot a screwed PC, you can then do almost anything you want (it 
has an incredible amount of tools on the CD).

I'd grab a disk wiper utility, and tell it to zap the disk.

Regards,
Ed.
