One of the tricks I've heard to reformat a drive is to use Apple's own "erase disk" feature instead of a third party formatter. There is also a feature you might be able to use once your Jag install CD is booted. There's a built in utility in the menu items called "open disk utility" That might work as well for a reformat, but again, might only see it once it's been priorly erased with "erase disk"
