Eggman Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 How do I unistall osx completely, I may need to reinstall........thanx Just reformat the hard drive or partition. Use some tool like PartitionMagic or Windows XP's built-in Disk Manager to reformat the hard drive in RAW data (not FAT32, NTFS or HFS+).

DrJägermeister Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 How do I unistall osx completely, I may need to reinstall........thanx delete the partition using a linux live-CD. Type: #cfdisk /dev/hda Possible that you have to type "sudo su" first if you can't open a root shell directly. delete the partition and create a new one in the free space with code AF.

EtherealRemnant Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Eggman - how did you get Partition Magic to work? It refuses to touch the drive that Mac OS X is on... I had to use Acronis' disk partitioner to get it off. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3502-how-to-uninstall/#findComment-22226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrunner Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 If you use the generic release1 patched DVD, just follow direction on the DVD and use OSX86 supplied diskutility before installation. Don't need any of the other listed above. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3502-how-to-uninstall/#findComment-22233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
