Are you SURE you really want to do this? Delete everything?
Assuming you are, first, reboot and check the CMOS settings to allow you to boot from a floppy. Dig out those old MSDOS disks and locate the one with FDISK on it. Boot from the floppy, run FDISK and delete the partitions on the hard disk, and it is done, everything is gone. It isn't erased, but it is inaccessible through the normal means. There are programs out there which can still recover information from the disk. To fully erase the disk and make sure the data is NOT recoverable, requires something like Norton Utilities which can be used to overwrite the entire disk several times, which will foil even the best data recovery programs and methods...
