Default EXT3: Reformatting to NTFS ?

On the live cd as root
USE THIS ONLY IF THE DISK YO WANT TO WIPE IS /dev/sda
dd bs=4096 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda

I have to do this to clear off Windows 8 and 10's weird
partitioning to get W7 reinstalled on a corrupted disk.


With that command, you're clearing the whole disk which will take a
while. There really is no need for it, you only want to clear the
partition table plus a bit extra to make sure.

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=2

will clear the first 2MB of the disk, which will take a fraction of the
time and do exactly the same thing, make the disk look like an
unpartitioned/unformatted virgin drive.
