There are two methods (I'd recommend the first unless you need to change the partion arrangement):

1) For each partion just use select all in the menu and then drag the files to the waste bin. The advantage of this is that until you write more files to the disk the files will be recoverable using a 'undelete' program. Some essential programs to make sure you have hanging about are X-control and its CPXs, Folder XXX, absolutely essential before Magic gets installed and a mouse accelerator. Make sure if your on the net on your Falcon you save your dial up files etc

2) Or...All you need to do is to use Hard Driver to re-partion the hard drive and then re-install the hard driver boot sector. The main risk is that you will wipe the drive without making sure the things on there that you need are safe. I always seem to loose something vital when I take this approach. So check and check again. Better still make a back of the drive. Once again make sure you have the essential programs on disk and to hand!
