Installation guide

To remove partitions, use the partitioning utility parted. Start parted, where /dev/hda is the

device on which to remove the partition:

parted /dev/hda

Using the print command, view the current partition table to determine the minor number of the

partition to remove:

The print command also displays the partition's type (such as linux-swap, ext2, ext3, and so

on). Knowing the type of the partition helps you in determining whether to remove the partition.

Remove the partition with the command rm. For example, to remove the partition with minor

number 3:

rm 3

Important

The changes start taking place as soon as you press [Enter], so review the com-

mand before committing to it.

After removing the partition, use the print command to confirm that it is removed from the parti-

tion table.

Once you have removed the Linux partitions and made all of the changes you need to make,

type quit to quit parted.

After quitting parted, type exit at the boot prompt to exit rescue mode and reboot your system,

instead of continuing with the installation. The system should reboot automatically. If it does not,

you can reboot your computer using Control-Alt-Delete .
