If you want to "clean" the hard drive this will do it:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda* bs=1k count=1
replace * with the partition you want to erase, or
leave it in to REMOVE ALL PARTITIONS.
If there is anything you want saved, DON'T do this.
Check if it worked with cfdisk.
Of course if you have a scsi or multiple hard drives
you'll have to change the pertinent areas.
Pop out the cdrom and reinstall you know what (yech!)

You did that and you still have a job?
I'm assuming that your firm run Windoze. To blitz Knoppix, use the CD and do
mkfs.msdos /dev/whereKnoppixIs
(don't get this wrong if you have more than one partition or hard drive!)
to get rid of Lilo, get a DOS bootdisk and do
fdisk /mbr
And that's it.
We'd all be interested to hear more of this tale, I'm sure!
