I just got linux RH 6.1, I've been messing with it installing it and
reinstalling it. Just to help get the feel of it. Then I tried to reformat
the hard drive, and reinstall windows. fdisk won't reformat the drive for
DOS! It lists the / partition as a non dos partition but it won't let me
delete it. It tells me i can't delete the partition because it contains
logical drives, but when I try to delete the logical drive it says this
partition contains no logical drives and it's back to step one!

There must be a way to re format a drive back to DOS???????But
How?????????????
