The following debug script removes DOS and non-DOS partitions on the hard drive. This debug script allows you to convert a drive from an incompatible partition structure to one that will work with FDISK.EXE such as converting Linux partitions to MS-DOS partitions.

Insert the boot disk that contains the Debug command into the floppy disk drive.

Restart the computer.
A black screen with the Microsoft Windows® 95 Startup Menu appears.

Press <5>, and then press <Enter>.
The boot process concludes with an A:\> prompt followed by a blinking cursor (underline).

From the A:\> prompt, type the following commands, and then press <Enter> after each command.

Code:

debug  F 200 L1000 0  A CS:100  MOV AX,301  MOV BX,200  MOV CX,1  MOV DX,80

Note: Type 80 for the primary hard drive - HD 0, or type 81 for the secondary hard drive - HD 1.
In most cases, the primary hard drive is what must be erased to resolve the issue.

Code:

INT 13  INT 20 xxxx:0110 (Leave this line blank. Press <Enter> to continue.) G

When the message Program terminated normally appears, press the power button to turn off your computer.

On the ensuing startup, the hard drive must be partitioned and formatted.

im sure most dont know what it means to 'debug' a HD...
I didn't until I had to du it... I wish this guide was here then!

Might want to start by explaining what it is, what it does, and why/when do you need to use it.

Gotcha covered... Thanks gries818.......
