Depends on what you are doing. You have to start with the logical partitions inside each extended partition, then the extended partitions, all in reverse of their numerical order. Also, there may be partitions that some versions of fdisk can't see. If all else fails, "dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=2" will seriously delete all and any partitions with extreme prejudice. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
