|
|
|
|
## prepare rescue USB stick
|
|
|
|
We use system rescue procedure to empty the disk, its anyhow very handy to have a USB stick with this rescue OS.

see https://www.system-rescue.org/Download/
|
|
|
|
see https://fastly-cdn.system-rescue.org/releases/11.00/systemrescue-11.00-amd64.iso
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we use balena etcher tool to burn the ISO onto a USB stick, its a very straight forward process to burn the iso on a USB stick.
|
|
|
|
the tool can be found on https://etcher.balena.io/
|
|
|
|
## now boot computer with the USB stick
|
|
|
|
make sure bios has been prepared to boot from USB see [here](1_prepare_bios.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
after booting you should see something like this
|
|
|
|
Select first item
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
check which disk to erase do
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sfdisk -l
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in this case we see /dev/sda... which is the USB stick we are booting from and /dev/nvme0n1 which is the internal nvme disk, this is the one we will have to empty
|
|
|
|
## empty the disk
|
|
|
|
Be careful following command will erase your disk completely !!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wipefs -a /dev/nvme0n1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now your disk is empty, go to next step to boot Zero-OS
