[SOLVED] Fedora 8 Question
I'm a novice on this OS, so here's my question. I have recently installed Fedora 8 on my system. But I want to uninstall Fedora 8 and go back to Windows XP. Now each time that I try to install Windows I don't get a response from the PC, just a black screen. Can anyone give me any advice on how to fix this issue....Thanks in advance.

Boot up Fedora 8, login as root and execute this in Terminal/Konsole
** Above command will wipe away the partition table and all the data of your hard disk. Your hard disk will be blank and Windows Installation disk will work fine.Code:dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
You can use Fedora's Rescue Mode or any LiveCD to execute that code.Last edited by devils casper; 01-31-2009 at 02:56 AM.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
