Last night I ended up using RedHat on a PC to "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda"
to wipe out the MBR and FAT on a PC HD that Windows "fdisk" wouldnt let
me delete (it wouldnt let me delete a secondary partition without deleting
the logical partitions inside it first, but there were no logical 
partitions..).  I let it run for about 45 seconds, and it did the job
great. 8-)
