then reformat them with dos there is a web site that tells you
how to reformat a drive that was used for linux to use it for
windows I don't remember but if you search for formatting a drive
you should be able to fi

Thanks. Now, I don't want to get this wrong, so if I want to reformat the
hard drive, do I type this?
mkfs -t /dev/hd1
TIA,

with a Windows floppy, run fdisk /mbr (this is a different version
of fdsik) and create the partitions you want.

You have to use fdisk to remove the NTFS partition and repartition to
Linux Native. Then write the partition table and do a mkfs.ext2 on each
partition created. Then edit your /etc/fstab and add the device entries
for the partitions. Make sure the mount point directories exist before
mounting
I have a second drive in a new install of RH7.2. Now that I already have
linux installed how to I format the drive and add a mount point? It
currently has NTFS on it.
I don't see how to do it with fdisk.
Can disk druid be run after Redhat is installed?
Is the a GUI in KDE for doing this?

Why not just delete the partition using linux fdisk, install the drive in
the DOS machine, fdisk it in DOS, and then format it?

fdisk.exe will often choke on non-DOS partitions, especially if you have
them in the extended partition. It's better to delete the
