I need to wipe my partion table

[MW252]

I have 2 hard drives, the first is for my windows, and the second for linux. My second hard drives partion table has been messed up, and i can not correct it with FDisk, it is partioned into 2 pieces (that fdisk can see anyways) and 10% is empty (so says fdisk) i try to delete the logical drives, i can delete one but when i delete the other it says that it deleted it then i push esc, it then says, "drives letters have changed" and it comes back, so i can not delete the extended drive i have tryed fdisk many times.

I just need to know what i can do to WIPE my partion table of the second hard disk and start over from scatch with fdisk.


I hope that makes sence,


Thanks,


-Matt

Linux partition is different. Can you delete it with the Linus boot disk? Ed Fair

Thsnks, but i don't care what partion it is windows or linux, i think there are only windows partions on the drive right now anyways, but either way all i want to do is wipe the partion table whether it has linux, win, etc. partions on it i want them all gone.


Thanks,

ZAP from seagate. A debug boot sector zapper listed on the hardware forum. Norton utilities disk editor and overwrite the boot sector with zeros.
At least two other programs have been mentioned on the win95 forum in the last week under fdisk. You might also look there on the FAQ list. Ed Fair
