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 ......
IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM Device Driver Version 2.11 17:30:39 06/07/96
CD-ROM drive #0 found on 170 port slave device, vQS14

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.
