I want to get rid of some partitions on my old 6 gig hard drive. I tried fdisk, but it won't let me not have partitions. I want one drive with no partitions. Any help would be great.

You must have atleast one partition for the drive to work. Try making a 6GB partition.

fdisk makes you delete the drives in the partition first. Then you can remove the partition. If it won't remove the partition, then it might be a Linux partition or another type that it doesn't recognize.

If you have a Primary and an Extended partition present, and there is one or more logical-drive in the Extended area, then delete the logical-drive(s) first; then delete the Extended area, then the Primary. Then re-establish the HD as you wish. If, by chance, you have Linux partition(s) or NTFS partitions/logical-drives present (NTFS in the Extended area cannot be removed via Fdisk), then use Delpart.exe. And if I understand correctly, DOS/'9x Fdisk will not remove Linux (although I noted, somewhere, recently that the DR-DOS version will...?). Delpart.exe will remove just about any partition - permanently - so you 'can' use it to delete everything on the HD. It's available from: http://hercules.lss.ksu.edu/download/MSSTUFF/index.htm (parent site: http://hercules.lss.ksu.edu) and it's FREE (around 30K). Presuming it does the job, you can then run Fdisk to re-establish the HD as you wish... http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q255/8/67.ASP is M$'s guide to using Fdisk. http://www.compguystechweb.com/index.html has a good tutorial too on Fdisk/partitions etc...
