Assuming that you just want to wipe the drive, and not dual-boot, I recommend dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0c let it go until it stops itself or a few seconds have gone by, and then inert the Windows install disk and away you go. Do NOT do this until you have made backups of any data you might want in the future and verified that the backups are ok, and until you are sure that this is what you want to do. > > ===== > Biff-Collins > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Make a great connection at Yahoo!
