Wobbly_Cheese Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hello all. While OS X was awesome on my machine I wanted to go ahead and re-install windows without OS X. Basically a fresh HD with XP home. However, I tried to partition the HD in windows and while it seemed to work the OS X is still on there. I then went ahead and tried to install a fresh XP home and hoped the OS X partition would show up in the on screen installation but it did not. I went ahead and formatted C again on the on screen install however it says it is either damaged or corrupt. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the OS X partition I cannot get rid of. Any ideas on how to get rid OS X? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Get any commercial or open source partitioner, like Partition Magic or GParted: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ Else get the Ultimate Boot CD: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ Or you could get any tool that erases your HD, like the free Active@ KillDisk: http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm You could also erase the MBR with any Linux LiveCD, but that is maybe a bit too difficult. Here it is, anyway: http://linuxgazette.net/issue63/okopnik.html (read it anyway) Plenty of options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
