| Every harddrive that I've dealt with comes with a utility to write 0's to the drive. This gives it a "straight from the box" formatting. Which should give you wat you want. Make sure you have plenty of time, because it takes quite a while. | |

| I still use the old DOS 3 utility ( I think it was DOS 3) called DELPART. If you need it, send me an email. | |

| DELPART was from IBM DOS and it removes ANY partition from a hard disk, I have the exe on floppy as I have yet to see anything quicker and faster.
There's your answer.

| Well said Lex.
I use DELPART.EXE daily...nothing is quicker or easier...and it sees ANY partition type, (NTFS, FAT, FAT32, UNKNOWN, HIDDEN, etc) at least all I've run up against. |
