LPDad is on a distinguished road
Easiest way, no matter what operating system you have:

Use the Tools disc that came with your Harddrive (or download it from the HD Mnfr website).
Make a floppy (follow instructions)
boot off that floppy
you can then do all sorts of tests and stuff specific for your harddrive...like Partitioning..and FORMATTING.
Simply format (and partition if you want), then take the floppy out and REBOOT with your Windows Install disk..and install your OS.
