DOS boot floppy with FDISK to remove any existing partitions

I wish to install Solaris 9 on an X86 laptop. I have XP already installed on it that I wish to wipe. I am informed I need to do this with a DOS boot floppy with FDISK to remove any existing partitions. Haven't got one of these so how do I go about doing it? I have a copy of Partition Magic so does that contain it? I DON'T want to dual boot btw. A full explanation or a point to a relevant website would be appreciated please.

As a secondary question do Sun still sell Solaris 9 bundled with oracle software?

Thanks.
