[H] Low Level Format of Samsung SV8004H

[chuck]

I have tried all I have to get rid of the little 8 MB partition on a Samsung 
SV8004H hard drive on Hewlett Packard that I want to do a clean install on. 
In times past, Seagate came to my rescue, but not this time.

I tried FDISK and the XP Installation process, to no avail. Samsung says it 
discontinued its hard drive preparation software since Windows XP CD will do 
the same thing. Catch 22. It won't. It may do well on a non OEM Samsung hard 
drive that has not had that little 8 MB partition installed on it by the 
manufacturer of the computer. Windows XP will not let me ignore that 8 MB 
partition and install on the next partition.

It would be highly appreciated is someone can send me some small utility 
file that will do this job for me. Hopefully somebody downloaded the Samsung 
hard drive preparation software before they removed it from their site.

Thanks in advance,

Chuck
