[gui-talk] Reformatting my hard drive:

[Geetha Shamanna]

Hi,

Is yours a Dell machine?

I remember reading somewhere that Dell creates two visible and two hidden 
partitions. When you format your harddisk, you should delete not two but all 
four partitions in order to be able to use the entire harddisk.
