Ian, you might try a small program called Delpart.exe. I have found it
will clean up a hard disks Partitions and Boot Record completely where
other programs have failed.

Cheers,
Alan priol.




Bob,  I 'd already removed & recreated partitions w/ p'magic (ver 8)
leaving 12MB blank , and was unable to successfully re-install OS.  Also
tried HP's HD utility, which reported no errors.  Was unable to get
ahold of HP's recovery disc, so it looks like "low-level" format is in
order.

Tony Mayer, the /mbr switch was one of the first things I tried, to no
avail.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Ian Carmichael
