[olug] Corel Linux Reformat

[James Hamelin]

You can boot from most any Linux CDROM and start the initial setup 
which can be used to remove the linux partitions or...

Boot off a Windows9x cdrom and remove the exisiting linux parition

or From a bootable dos diskette, the utility your lookin for are
fdisk.exe and format.com, along with sys.com 

fdisk, option 3 remove parittions / option 4 ( remove non-msdos ) 
option 1 create new msdos partition ( fat / fat32 ) 
reboot
format C: /s ( /s copies system files ) 

Then re-install Windows

Hope this helps
