Hello,

I would be grateful if anybody could help me with my problem.

I newly bought a PC which I am going to install Linux operating System
only. I did tell the dealer that I don't want any MS stuff installed on
PC and when I got it I found there must be some MS stuff installed
because I have seen the following when I turn the power on.

PCI device listing .......

Bus No. Device No. Func No. Vendor ID Device ID   Device class      IRQ
   0           7          1      8086    7010    IDE Controller      14
   0           10         0      1023    9660    Dispaly Controller  11
   
Starting Windows95 ......

I tried to install Linux and got to the stage of partition disks. the
following is what I got


This is the fdisk program for partitioning your drive. It is ruuning
on /dev/hda.

command (m for help): P

Disk /tmp/hda: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 621 cylinders
units=cylinders of 8064*512 bytes

Device    Boot   Begin    Start     End   Blocks    Id    Sytem
/tmp/hda   *      1         1        62   2503840+   c    Unknown

Partition 1 has different physical/logical ends:
  phys=(619, 127, 63) logical=(620,127,63)
command(m for help):

Now my problem is that I don't know how can I delet the first partition
which seems to me a DOS partition and there is no DOS fdisk on the 
system.

Thanks so much in advance,


Jun Zhou.
