Hi, I wanted to format the complete harddisk. I deleted everything but the grub boot manager in the MBR is still there. I couldn't delete it. I overwrote MBR already with windows recovery cd but it didn't help. Is there a possibility to overwrite the MBR?
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 should fill with zeroes first 512 bytes of hard disk. Note it is /dev/sda whole hard disk, not some partition.
