  I've got a couple machines that have what looks like corrupted
  partition information.  FDISK does not recognize the HD as having
  a DOS partition, so I can't delete it.  (It boots up just fine, 
  but any attempt to CHKDSK it gives a "non-DOS disk" error).

  Any suggestions for getting rid of the pesky buggers?  I'd like to
  do a low-level format and clean the thing up from scratch.

  Help!
