Just installed an old HDD to stick all my games on, only trouble is, It's partitioned.

How do I remove the patitioning with the XP o/s.
when typing Fdisk into dos window or "run" window, it's unrecognised. /

The original plan was to buy a couple of Raid0 Raptors but funds wont allow. (intercooler nearly finished. )
So it didn't get fomatted at the xp install stage
