Using these scripts you are assuming 100% of the risk. If either of these scripts screw up your system, Don't call or email me as you have been warned!

These scripts WILL render your Hard Drive inaccessible!

The person that gave this script, Sam Lea of Fort Worth, Texas.

DOS partitions:

Boot to Win98SE startup disk (It is the best OS made boot disk ever) (Don't have one? Download it here on our downloads page!). Type in debug at the A: prompt.

A:/debug (ENTER)

Enter in the following commands:

Blue: what you type in.

Pink: what is displayed on the screen. (DO NOT TYPE THIS IN!)

Black: this is useful information. (DO NOT TYPE THIS IN!)

To delete partitions on a hard drive:

-F 200 L1000 0 (ENTER)

-A CS: 100 (ENTER)

xxxx:0100 MOV AX,301 (ENTER)

xxxx:0103 MOV BX,200 (ENTER)

xxxx:0106 MOV CX,1 (ENTER)

xxxx:0109 MOV DX,80 (ENTER) <---"80" for hd1, "81" for hd2 >

xxxx:010C INT 13 (ENTER)

xxxx:010E INT 20 (ENTER)

xxxx:0110 (ENTER) <-------BLANK LINE "VERY IMPORTANT" >

-G (ENTER)

Program terminated normally

- (CTRL)-(ALT)-(DEL) to reboot system

Non DOS partitions:

There are two ways to use the following Debug script:

Run Debug and type the Debug commands from the center column of Table 1 at the corresponding Debug prompt. (The left column of the table shows the prompts that are displayed by Debug. You do not need to type the comments in the right column.)

-or-

Type the command in the center column of Table 1 into a file using a text editor such as MS-DOS Editor and then use input redirection to feed the resulting file into Debug. For example, if you typed the commands into a file called HDPART.SCR, you would clear your partition table by typing the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then pressing ENTER:

debug < hdpart.scr
