I "scsiformat"-ed the drive and then did an fdisk from within /stand/sysinstall and created two paritions (each about 1GB). Then, I tried to go back to NT to DOS format the two partitions. This locked up my machine and now I can't access the disk at all from within NT or FreeBSD to do a format properly. Is there anything I can do to salvage my disk? Thanks!
