dual boot machine with server 2000 and RH 8.0

[24giovanni]

Hi, I have a dual boot machine with server 2000 and RH 8.0 on it. I would like to delete all of RH 8.0 off of it without disturbing the server 2000 portion on my machine. Can some one please help me with the step by step directions on how to do this. I would greatly appreciate it.

After it is off my machine I want to upgrade to FC5.

Thanks!!!

Instead of wiping 8.0 and then installing FC5, I suggest skipping straight to the install of FC5, and when it comes to the partitioning stage, just format the old partition and install FC5 on that. This way, there is less trouble, and, in my experience, less of a chance something else will get screwed up.

I never used downloaded fc 5 before. Does it ask to be partitioned and will it just use the space that was used from rh 8.0?

It will ask to be partitioned, but you will have to go into the manual disk partitioner (Disk Druid) and specify you want the RH8 partition wiped and used.

If don't feel safe in disk druid, it is easy but if you don't, try Gparted it's a Linux based GNU licensed Partition Magic Clone.

How do I use disk druid. I must say I am fairly new to linux.
