Did you try booting to DOS and type in FDISK /MBR at the C:\ prompt? This will rewrite the master boot record but I don't remember for sure if it gets rid of ontrack. If you are going to reformat there is no reason not to delete the partitions and repartition that I can think of. Jim Myers Telrad Electronic Services Co.
