As for the Compaq drive, I have a Compaq 20 gig drive from a DeskPro
machine that has a partition that cannot be altered.
If I write over the first tens of sectors (writing all zeros) that drive's
firmware
will 'restore' the boot block and some number of later sectors.

drives were odd critters....
