I had windows xp and linux(mandriva). But i got my primary partition formatted as it got badly affected by viruses, trojans, spams……. however i did not install windows immediately, i used linux for a few days and thereafter i could not install xp. Though the i can boot from the xp cd, the process stops at initial step itself. I thought at first that my hard disk might have got developed some bad sectors, but after i consulted the service provider i got to that it is a software problem arised as i formatted primary partition and left it so with linux on my hard disk. Now i wish to format the whole hard disk deleting all the partitions including the linux partition. I tried it with partition magic but i ended up with unformatted linux boot partition using my friends healthy hard disk which has only xp.
Now can anyone send a software/link/solution which can completely format deleting all the partitions of a harddisk without affecting the data in the second harddisk?

I am new to linux.
I have installed Mandriva linux 2006 that came in 3 cd’s pack.
Installation went without any problem and it asked me to reboot after installation.
On rebooting its asking something like Localhost- Userid: and password.
If i enter the user name and password, its taking me to shell promt with that user name.
how can i enter the KDE or GNOME environment.
