Re: Can't fdisk drive

["S. John Ilagan" <sjohni enteract com>]

What version of fdisk are you trying to use?  (msdos or linux).  I've
found that msdos fdsik does not allow you to delete non-dos partitions
(in my case, a linux swap partition) if they were created with linux
fdisk.  I ended up using linux fdisk to delete the partition.

hope this helps....
