Thread: how do i delete windows mbr parition with live cd?

okay have drive keep important files on. way dont have them everytime reformat, install windows on 320gb hard drive, , wipe when ever need.

however, used have windows on spare hard drive, created mbr partition on bootlader , then, still there now.

causing problems. became currupt cant boot or install windows drive connected, nor can boot linux. when hard drive connected, keeps wanting boot mbr parition on it, doesnt work.

realized currupt last night when kept tryin ot install unbuntu got grub errors, wouldnt let me install windows, computer freeze before got boot screen.

when take hard drive out (its secondary way) works fine, , iwas able install linux.

anywayys. need find program use on linux live cd, can use delete mbr partition only. cant reformat entire drive, has many important files on it, , dont have enough blank discs, or them up, or else i'd that.

has work on live cd, because cant boot normal os drive attached because of bootladers in mbr partition or whatever.

tried erase partition in ubuntu live cd paritioner, either doesnt seem find mbr partition (should 100mb or less), or doesnt erase , format properly. dunno whats going on.

anyways, know of easy way of doing this?

thanks!

are wanting use single os , it?
