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 ?
