Put in a Windows boot disk in and boot the machine... run fdisk and select
"View partition info"... see what it says. I'm guessing that it's going to
say that there is a non-dos partition on the drive... make sure that it is
100% of the capacity of the drive. If it WAS your C: drive, (that you
usually boot your machine from), and it's a non-dos partition... your only
option is to delete the non-dos partition and make a new partition, then
format it and reinstall the OS.
