This thread may help: http://forums.techguy.org/showthread...hreadid=123361 Basically what you will need to do is to remove all Linux partitions (including swap) and remove whatever Linux bootloader you may have installed (LILO, grub, whatever). Of course, you can also perform a low-level format of the drive using a utility from the manufacturer (Maxtor provides MaxBlast/MaxDiag for example), assuming that Linux is the only O/S on the drive and you don't want to retain any information.

Hope this helps.
