deinstall Astaro and format HD with FAT

Hello
I would like to deinstall the Astaro FW software and format the harddisk with FAT or NTFS.
I don't understand Linux. It would be great if someone could describe how I need to do that.

Thanks

Do you want to install Windows ?

Just insert installation CD.
There you are asked if you want to delete current partitions and re.format the hard drive

You don't need to "deinstall" anything, if that even exists.

Simply format over ASG with either a Windows CD or a diagnostic CD from the HDD manufacturer.

hi googler ,
to do a good job you can follow the instructions of KKnecht but I think to do the best ( erase the ASL MBR, boot partition and the rest) look for in the NET "Power Max Utility" and do a "Low level Format", than "fdisk" and after you can install in a "NEW" HDisk what you want.

No utils are needed... boot up ASL, login as root, and
cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda
or
cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda
will erase the (IDE or SCSI) HD
