[QUOTE="znod, post: 205574, member: 12544"] I see; that was easy. Duh, the tutorial says "[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]then you would need to make sure that all partitions on the drive have been deleted until it is only unallocated space." I was thinking I remembered exactly what the tutorial said, but I obviously didn't. [/FONT][/COLOR]Thanks much. I still wonder about the following. [COLOR=#333333]"...
