I currently have a partioned hard drive on my laptop, with both XP and Linux Suse 9.1. I want to remove XP completely and replace 9.1 with 9.3, which I have just purchased.
What is the best way of banishing XP while also ensuring the whole hard drive is given over to Suse 9.3?
-
Do you want to keep your current Suse installation? If not, back everything you need up, delete all partitions, and install 9.3.

To tell the truth, I don't think there is anything on my laptop I want to keep. I brought it for uni and besides a bit of playing around on it, I have done nothing serious which I want keeping. I couldn't see much point using it until I got to uni.
How do I delete the partition? When I install 9.3, how can I be sure XP will not still be on there?
-
Well, if there is nothing you want to keep on either partition, then I would do a clean install of Linux.
Most good installations programs will give you options for setting up/changing the partitioning scheme used (Did that in my Centos 4.1 & Solaris 10 installs ) ... This will wipe out the partitions and create a new partition to your standards.
just my $.02 on the matter,

Thanks, I did exactly that. It was easy. I just followed the chose the approximate options during installation. Problem solved.
