Comment:
I had this old computer in the shop and it had windows NT on it and I tried to fdisk the drive and I removed the primary ntfs partition but I cannot delete the extended dos partition because it says there are logical drives and when I try to delete logical dos partitions it says there are none defined and I can't create any. What can I do to get rid of that partition?

You can also use DELPART:

http://www.russelltexas.com/delpart...

It's a small file you can add to a bootdisk. Use it to boot up the PC and type delpart and enter at the a:\> prompt. Be sure to save the results before exiting.
