You can do it without formatting your hard drive :-) But then you will have to remove prevoius WINDOWS installation directories (Windows ect.)

    (9)
    I remember doing this before in the past with a DOS partition. It wasn't working properly, so
    the office tech told me to use fdisk and delete that DOS partition. Then recreate it. To my surprise

    somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
    for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it
    later using fdisk, Windows will still be intact right? From my understanding now,....
