Hi. I recently installed redhat on a spare hard disk to try out some stuff. However, I'm now in need of the disk, so I used fdisk to clear it... However, when I boot with the disk now, I get L 40 40 40 40 (continued into eternity). I've looked it up, and it appears that this is a problem with the lilo bootloader not being removed... I've tried various other apps to clean the partition table, but so far no luck... Anyone have any clue on how to make my disk usable again, preferably without having to reinstall linux?

That make you fear, make you cry. Make you cry for the Child.

Worked. Thanks.
