here's my $0.02 advise

use a bootable diskette to boot up your pc. there is a command in the dos
called fdisk. you type this on A:> and follow the instructions. actually
you can create active or main partition and voila. after that you have to
reboot and you can format you hard drive (using format c: /s) also can be
found in you bootable diskette. note the bootable diskette should contain
dos commands (fdisk and format).
hope this helps.
