I had the same problem after I partitioned my hard drive and installed Win98 & Solaris 8. I believe the problem was because the Solaris install writes UNIX files (boot blocks) to the first sectors of the drive. When you try to fdisk or format with Microsoft diskette it will not read that UNIX part (which just happens to be the first part of the disk). I did however succesfully fdisk my hard drive. I used the maxtor diskette that came with my drive. I recommend you download the bootable diskette from Maxtor or Western Digital for your disk wiping problem.
