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
