    I have modified my original post . Hope it is OK. My "grub" identifies a partition ( dev/sde7 ) as bootable. It attempts to boot, but ends up in "maintenance mode ". I like to recover SOME of the contents of the partition but preferably REMOVE the OS. I have had a very limited success using Linux maintenance / recovery options and would prefer to remove the OS from the partition. I am looking at "fdisk". Is that a right tool to do the above?

      You could try this Hardware and Devices forum. I've moved your post here.

      Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

        Starting your post with a rant about other members asking you to follow the site rules is not a good way to encourage people to try to help you. :doh:
