Re: How to format screwed-up hard drive and reinstall OS.

Thanks, Bryan, for the link. But I have a couple of questions...
  
  First of all, is it safe to follow the procedure? I am somewhat  concerned about the prospect of getting into a situation where I cannot  recover anything, i.e., I might have to toss away the hard drive...
  
  Also, do I have to make a boot diskette? I don't have a floppy drive. If I can make a bootable CD, which OS should I use?
  
  Thanks, in advance.

  If you really want to clear the harddrive quickly use a zero fill like wipe
