I usually boot from the installer CD and go to a virtual terminal (Alt-F1). In the shell; dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk-i-want-to-destroy bs=512 count=1 I'd guess that the partition table has some microsoft funkiness in it that needs to be wiped. Take, care with this, it can and does eat data....... Cheers.
