Sorry for the confusion.
I was only using ONTRACK (from a floppy disk) to get the partition
table wiped clean so I could format the entire disk. I never could
get FDISK to remove the Linux partions in the extended partition, so I
could remove the extended partion.
Thanks for the reply

Hello All, from The Other
Last week was very frustrating. The slave Maxtor drive went back to PC
Peripherals (this was an OEM drive), so I decided to continue the dual-boot
Win95B and Mandrake 9.1 system on the remaining master Western Digital

My guess is that Win95B and NT 4.0 have never heard about HDD S.M.A.R.T
Capability, and didn't try to write to the Western Digital using it.
Whereas Mandrake 9.1 is new and sophisticated enough to know

I had the same alarm bells going off. The ONTRACK disk overlay and Linux have
always been incompatible (or so I thought). If your bios has SMART
