HD Install :: Uninstalling Grub

How do I uninstall the Grub bootloader on a formated hdd?

Thanks

Installing a new bootloader should do it. If you plan to install a new operating system on that harddrive, the installation disk will probably already be bootable. As long as your bios is set to boot from the installation media (cdrom, usually) before the harddisk, it should ignore the existing bootloader.

You could probably also use the dd command to overwrite the boot sector of the drive.

What is the dd command?

Thanks

Example fromsomewebsearch: http://linuxgazette.net/issue55/tag/20.html

When I use the command dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda it says I do not have permission. How do I get by that?

Thanks
