How do i completely delete my pc's hard drive including windows

Question

my old pc is completely buggered and i want to blank everything and install linux on it or possible windows vista.

any advice would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

create yourself a dos bootdisk and start the pc with your disc in the A drive. the A drive needs to be  bootable((setting for boot options in the bios) .....type fdisk at the dos prompt  and accept the larger disc... then del the drives, if there are ntfs drives they will appear as non-dos drives and when you restart all will be lost....then re-enter fdisk and create partition and if you want format it for the new operating system  

Answer 2

Go to your hard rive in My Computer and right click it. Go to "format", that should do it!
