Oh, I see your point now. Will try it with the switch. Did not know that. On Thu, Jun 13, 2019, 12:42 AM Mark Whittington <markwhi@gmail.com> wrote:
Are you saying that you ran fdisk with the /mbr switch and that didn't remove grub? Just deleting the partition won't reset the master boot record, but the /mbr switch installs the dos bootloader (which replaces grub).
If that didn't work then I'm not sure.

fdisk /mbr will do it assuming dos 5.0 or later
No -- what I'm saying is that did not work.
I used 6.22. It deleted the partition but it did not delete Grub.

I wanted to wipe one of my spare older PCs. I used an MS-DOS boot disk and ran fdisk. That worked for zapping the partition, but it left behind Grub when I reboot. How do I delete that?
