Manuel, if you haven't tried it already, give cfdisk a try. I've had
better luck, in general, with it than with either fdisk or Disk Druid.
Another step that has often helped when a drive doesn't have a partition
table on is, is to us DOS fdisk, create a small partition, and save it.
This gives you a valid partition table on the drive and you can then
use linux fdisk from there. Some drives, under some conditions which
I've
not sorted out, appear to have partition table problems that fdisk and
disk druid don't deal with well.
The last time I had to do the DOS thingy, I just used the DOS
boot/install
diskette, killed the DOS install (<F3>, I think) and ran "A:\FDISK" on
the drive.
