If you ever did a partionning of a disk on windows you know what it did, it removed everything from the disk and place a new table of content over the old one.
Now its exactly the same thing with Linux, the install cd will ask you where to install. just tell it to use the whole disk and it will partion the disk and format it in the good format type.

Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Is low level format requried? HOw is it performed?
I am planning to install Ubuntu on a surplus Dell (dual-core) machine, that I bought from a college surplus sale - with no hard drive.
I was able to pick up a (wiped clean) SATA hard drive rather cheaply.
Since the hard drive is wiped clean, do I have to perform some sort of low-level format before I can install the Ubuntu operating system from the ususal iso disk?
If some sort of low level format is needed, What program is required to perform the low level format?
Is there a special procedure to follow?I spent some time looking on Google and could not get a clear answere.
Thanks
