Debian locked my HD.

[mastersync]

Hey people, I installed Debian and decided to delete it because it wasn't really good for me.

I realised that it was locked when I try to format HD in Partition Magic. I can't d anything now... I don't remember entering any passwords for the HD...

Help..

Hi and Welcome !

are you dual booting? try Disk Management Tool of Windows to delete partitions marked as Unknown. type diskmgmt.msc in RUN dialog of Windows to open Disk Management Tool.

I wasnt dual booting. The locked HD is for my laptop.

I successfully format it to ntfs but GRUB is still loading even tough I formatted it.

Thanks for the reply!

You should be able to boot the installation CD of
whatever OS you like and install. A Microsoft OS
will automatically install its own boot loader. Alternatively,
any Linux distro will also have a bootloader it will install.

GRUB is on the MBR of the hard drive now, but will
be overwritten when you install a new OS.
