Hello, I have made a huge mistake and need help. Please advise if you
can? I attempted to install RHlinux tonight and all went well so I
thought. When the install was over and i rebooted my password was not
accepted then when I tried to reboot to windows all of my <dirs> were
corrupted unfortunatly I did not back up. I used fips to partition and
at that time everything was fine.In an effort to regain access to
windows I ran scandisk, however it keeps locking upat file system. I
realize now that I made a big mistake and all data is likely lost, the
new partition wont let me format. How do I remove both partitions so I
can start fresh? I need to do alot of reprogramming. I cant get past
initial dos prompt, dos/windows files are corrupted,and at last check
linux wont even load to the sign on screen. Please Help?
