boot the installl CD and get into the rescue shell (from the startup 
menu), then use something like

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=1024

note thats sda and not sda1 or whatever, we want the raw device and not 
the partition.

then reboot, and the disk should look like a virgin brand new drive.  or 
from that same rescue shell, use parted/mklabel as he said above...
