[olug] OT - Windows network question

[Sheldon, Roger W]

You can reload the OS's with the same Windows version it came with no worries there. Issue is if you want to move that install to a different machine. I don't believe Windows licenses are transferrable with the standard license agreement.

Boot from a bootable Linux CD, any should work, run this command from a terminal window:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512

Let that run until it tosses an error.

I have exactly zero clue how to do something like this in any version of winders...
