Windows NT 4.0 uninstall
I have been given a computer that has Windows NT 4.0 and no disk with it. I would like to uninstall this program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Company out of business so can not get any info on computer.
Thank you

Download a boot disk, delete the partition, and format the hard drive.

Easily. Just boot with something like a Win98 floppy and run FDISK to delete the Non-DOS partition (if it was in the native NTFS)

Information on how to use FDISK can be found at:
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/install/fdisk.htm

Topics covered are:
Overview and Getting Started
Partitioning a New Drive - Single Large Partition
Partitioning a New Drive - Multiple Partitions
Deleting a Single Partition
Deleting Multiple Partitions
Deleting a NTFS Partition
Fixing the Master Boot Record
