wont the windows disk management say its a system partition so it wont format it?
I plugged my HDD (with windows XP OS installed) on it into my Dell XP machine as a slave drive, opened disk manager and just completely wiped it. Worked fine. Did ask me if I was sure I wanted to delete system partition, I said yes, and it wiped it. Then I just went to format, selected NTFS and it did it in a few mins.... Works a charm
