[K12OSN] Hard drive rescue (OT) (David Trask)

"They're Seagates...if that makes any difference, but I'll definitely try
the Knoppix idea...got a gazillion copies of it  ;-)"

When I get a hard drive that is too hozed for windows to deal with, I boot off 
CD 1 of SuSE and remove all partitions, then set one FAT partition. Of   
course, you will be unable to install SuSE, but that isn't the goal, anyway. 
After setting the one partition, I can almost always then install Windows. 
This should work with any Linux distro.
