  13. If you just want to wipe partitions off, I recall a page of Hex code
  14. in the Norton utilities Advanced Ed 4.5 book which (when keyed into
  15. DEBUG) would produce a .COM file to wipe partition tables.  You were
  16. supposed to use it as a last resort if the table couldn't be accessed.
  17. It will wipe all partitions, forcing you to re-run FDISK, I believe.
