I've read all the messages/ replies posted on this subject - but it still wont work :x
It is a Dell, 2.3GH, 10GB, 256 Ram.
It has 2 partitions that don't see each other, ive tried Format, Fdisk, Free download software. Nothing will erase the WHOLE hard drive. I want a harddrive with ALL zeros.
Can someone help - i'm getting very frustrated right now.

Great minds think alike eh!

Hi guys!
The above two guys hit the nail on the head! - i got the duke'n'nuke (don't be put off cuz it says Linux and not Windows) - IT WORKS
I tried the other suggestions before duke'n'nuke (sorry I should have been more precise in my question) they didn't work because the two partitions didn't see each other.
Although, all that said duke'n'nuke isn't for the faint hearted - a bit of time/luck and a well formatted floppy disk should work a treat :)
