[PLUG] reformatting a disk


What should i use to totally reformat a hard disk on which i have installed LILO and RH linux. I tried to use DOS fdisk on a bootable floppy, but it didn't seem to be able to do anything with the linux partitions. I tried to install NT 4 ... and upon reboot it just hangs with a cursor and 'LI' (LILO remains?). My goal here is to totally purge the hard drive and do a fresh install of linux, and i would like to do it from a bootable floppy. The RH install program doesn't seem to give me the option to do a total reformat.
