Using Gparted to reformat a corrupted HD?

[JoshuaJay]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to fix a corrupted HD that I'd like to re-use on my new PC.

I found out about Gparted so I mounted it to a disc and have that all good to go.

I wiki'd the program to learn, and I know how to boot from the disc and get to the partition menu, but no idea what to do from there.

I am new to partitions and bios... All I want to do is make the HD bare for a fresh OS install.

Any easy tips?

Edit: Junior Techie now, nice.

Awesome, I searched the internet for something like that but couldn't find it. Guess it was here all along!

Thanks Carnage.
