Sorry for the bad english, should have re-read my message before sending it, and should not do 3 things at the same time when posting.

Booted from the WinXP CD, formatted the whole drive, and hoped the MBR would be overwritten and cleanED, but it is not. On reboot, I am offerend to choose between Win XP and "former OS", which obviously LEADS nowhere. fdisk /mbr doesn't do a thing. How can I get rid of the reference to the former OS in the boot menu ? I know I can edit the boot.ini, but is there any trace of FC4 on the HDD that needs to be cleared ?
