In an attempt to install a version of Linux to a Fujitsu hard drive, I have
somehow managed to hose it up badly- neither Partition Magic or fdisk will
touch it. They both see the fouled up partitions, but will not remove them.
PM gives me a message about overlapping partition tables, and offers to fix
it, but doesn't (or can't).

What I'm looking for is a utility that will allow me to low-level format
this drive or return it to factory parameters. I've checked the Fujitsu
site, but there is nothing listed.

This is not a disaster, but I would like to recover this drive (which *was*
good prior to my inept attempt to install this OS).

Any ideas?
