I have a machine that was set to dual-boot.
hda1 was Windows
hda2 is swap
hda3 is Linux
I've removed hda1 from lilo.conf and now it only boots to Linux, and doesn't ask
if I want to boot to anything else. I have no intention of using Windows on
this thing. fdisk tells me that hda1 is the boot partition.
Would mkfs hda1 destroy the laptop's ability to boot? I'd like to change the
filesystem, get rid of all Windows files, and mount the thing as my /home
directory. Since it's the boot partition, though, I worry that doing so would
cause problems for booting.
