I just hada new hard drive installed. I went to install my O/S, and the disk had to be formatted. However, an error messagw popped up that said the disk could not be formatted b/c "an error was detected while formatting your primmary hard drive partition." I think went into fdisk, and it wouldn't let me delete the partition I have (which is using 100% of my HD) because when I tried to enter the Volume Label, I couldn't, because there were some funky symbols at the end that I couldn't retype. HELP. (Thanks)

Thanks...but I'm not sure how to use it. Can I download either program on a floppy (from my desktop), and then use that floppy on my laptop?

Hi
If you visit the manufacturer website of the new drive you just installed, you will find a few utilities for your drive there.
Most of them will load onto a floppy.
These utilities are free [well its a sevice provided via your purchase] From the diagnostic utility you should be able to run a low level format [zeroing the drive thesedays] You could then chose to use their setup program is you want as well.
