I have not experienced this issue in XP, however, in NT4, disk administrator
would act like this if there was an unknown partition on the drive.
Microsoft provided a utility called delpart.exe to clean off linux, netware,
or corrupt partitions.  You can try fdisk first to see if that helps.  I
always went the additional step and set my partition from dos, using disk
admin for formatting.

 I have a Seagate scsi drive that I am able to see in device manager but
unable to mount. It appears that the system enumerates the drive fine
and it shows as working fine but I cannot see it in Disk administrator
(Machine is running XP Pro). Any ideas?
