i installed win XP pro on a harddrive to test a computer. now that i am done with it, i wanted to convert it back to FAT32 for a Win98SE system. i did the usual things, booted up with the 98 recovery disk, fdisk to two partitions (its a 4GB drive, partition of 3 and 1). when i went to format drive C (3GB) it was really really slow. it would go 1%, then say something like "recovering allocated disk space of 7000K" and it would do this for a while. even after about 30 minutes, it was only at 16% then it just stopped, saying it was terminated. now it isn't even recognized by BIOS, on post, anything. like its not even there. a subsequent fdisk says "no fixed disks present."
did i bork the hard drive? is there anything i can do to save it?
