can't get rid of Linux on a 2.1GB WD HD
I've tried and tried. I've fdisked and deleted the non MS-DOS partitions and formatted this hard drive. Everytime I try to install Win98, when it re-boots, it boots into a Linux log-on screen. How can I get rid of this Linux boot record? I can't use Western Digitals Data Lifeguard Tools because I get the error 0207, which means that there are errors on the drive that can't be fixed, but when I use this drive as a slave it works perfectly fine. What's up with that? I've run scandisk while using this 2.1 GB hard drive as a slave on another system and it doesn't find anything, neither does Norton Disk Doctor. I have thoroughly tested this drive with both of these utilities with no errors. So why does DLGTOOLS find errors on this drive? I've tried different cables and still get these errors with DLGTOOLS, and this drive works great as a slave but I want to use it as a master. And yes, I have changed jumper settings on the drive for master or slave set up.
How does the log file get closed on a hard drive? Is there anyway of opening a log file that is closed on a hard drive? This just doesn't make sense. This hard drive ran beautifully for over four years, now that I try to get rid of Linux, it punishes me. I've never had trouble like this before trying to get rid of an O/S. I like Linux as an operating system, but if can't remove it to install a newer version, how good can it be? :confused:
