Hello:

  To get ride of NT from your hard drive:

  1- if you have dual boot systems ( ie. win95 and win nt )

     a- boot in win95, creat a boot disk from add&remove software applet
        in control panle.

     b- boot with disk you have created in drive a:
     c- at the prompt type--> sys c:

     That sould remove windows NT from master boot record.

     d-reboot
     e-delete winnt directory if win nt was installed on same FAT partition
       other wise use fdisk to fromat the NTFS partition.
       ( Note if that partition was created with win nt boot 3 boot disk
         then you need to boot using these disk and go through setup process
         until you reach the step where you are been asked to select
partition
         then select the NTFS partition, delete it and press F3 to exit.
         (( you need to read the screens carefully , I might over stepped
           some key point ))

   If you have a win nt and dos:
    a- from dos boot disk ,after boot, type sys c:
    b- delete the five nt specific file


  If it was plain NTFS:

   go through the NT setup
   select the  partition,deleted, then creat and format as fat
   then press F3 to exit the setup.

  Good Luck,

  I have done this procedure many times.

                                   Regards
