Well I'm home and I first tried to "fdisk /mdr" the HD so the mbr is
emtpy. Didnt work.
Then I decided to use my special (:D) IBM floppy which I use to low
level format HD or Zero fill HD. The low level format didn't work since
it's not an IBM HD I guess but the Zero Filling function worked.
But it's still the same thing, same error in the disklabel editor.

The HD is known to work perfectly. A friend of mine who was using
Windows XP on it gave it to me cause it was too small.

Any other idea ?

Regards
