[linux-help] Re: erasing an IDE hard drive

[David Carmichael <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The only way that I know to do this is to use EZDrive on the harddrive in
question and reformat it from with in the program.. BUT ..if EZDrive "SEE"s
that your system BIOS does not support harddrives of the size that you are
installing it will reinstall the BIOS code again.

Also what version of EZDrive are you using?

linux to read the hard drive.  I have removed the ez drive from it, but
linux comes back with "no available resources"  or read error on hda boot
sector.  Windows has no problem reading this.  I want to wipe the drive back
to new condition
