fdisk problems.

fdisk problems.

I am trying to wipe out a Compaq HD the has a Primary DOS partition and a Extended DOS partition.

I quess Compaq saves info for restore on the extended drive.

I have deleted both partitions gone into "Display partitions" and it says all is gone.

Then I restart go to fdisk, check "Display partitions" and the partitions are there again. I have wiped them out three or 4 times now.

Is there an order I must delete the partitions in? And even if there is, why do they show up again when they say there's no partitions?

Really confused

FDisk should do it.

You could try WipeOut from http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/index.html which deletes all the partition tables on the mbr. Then try FDisk again.
