Try Disk Druid that comes with Linux. If you don't have that then when you are running FDISK tell it to delete a non dos partition. <br />

Has an article on doing just this type of operation. &nbsp;FDisk from version 5 or higher of MSDOS are capable of repartioning your harddrive. &nbsp;As gemarti said, you need to delete the Non-DOS partition.
