If you try to just boot to dos and use dos fdisk to re-format the disk,
you may run into problems where you can not remove the existing
partitions. You should boot from a Linux disk first and use the Linux
fdisk to delete all partitions first, then boot with the dos disk and use
dos fdisk to re-create dos partitions.
