I have a 15gig hard drive and currently have a duel boot setup of XP and W2k.

They are pretty similar and i only want one of them.

How do i wipe everything off the hard drive?

I want to do a fresh install on XP it.

grab a 98 disk and FDISK to remove all partitions. I don't think this is included in 2k

Or depending on how crappy the XP installer is, you may have a usable partitioning tool included.

If you want to be really thorough, you can always low-level format it :).

But yes, a bootable floppy with FDISK usually does the trick :D.

Or use Partition Magic - depending on what you want to do :D.
