Normally would be fdisk and create, then format. But it is more likely the drive has quit spinning and can't read anything, so therefore no boot and no table.
If fdisk allows you to create a partition the drive is spinning.

Some application or disk corruption has deleted the partition from the disk. It that is the case, then there are applications that can restore broken partitions.

If you do not have critical data on this disk, I recommend to create new partition in XP SystemManager/Disk Manager and format it (time saver). Then check for errors.
