Because he got in trouble like that in the first place. The utility disk
is much easier and in all instances a quick "low" level will wipe the
first & last section of the drive thereby eliminating any residual
traces of MBR......Also to some it is confusing to use the XP setup no?
Especially when you are dealing with deleting Primaries &
logicals..........Hence why I suggested the HD utility disk, ONE step
with a lot less confusion.......
