Perhaps you can try using the Linux fdisk....I solved a lot of "cant
format/cant partition/have logical partition/etc problems with that.....have
some linux geek around to ask??
you should leave the hard disk alone as master, just in case you choose the
wrong HD..
s
| I have a computer running XP/WinME, 256M, 366MgHz....
|
| I have a second HD that has been broken up into 4 partitions. I am unable
| to format the drive (wipe everything off and start over) using Partition
| Magic, Windows Format from the explorer, and fdisk/format from DOS.
|
| With fdisk, I can select the drive I want. But, from there I don't really
| know what to do. The drive is very corrupt...2 partitions register just
| garbage and the other 2 partitions have never been accessible...I just
want
| to clean everything off of the 20G maxtor drive.
|
| I think this is enough info...but please let me know if there is a way to
do
| this with this corrupt drive.
|
| Thanks
