Fire up the Linux bootable business card (or a Mandrake boot/install disk,
or Tom's Root-Boot, etc) and from the # prompt:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1
That zeroes the boot sector and erases the partition table.
If the drive previously had Disk Manager, you'll first have to do this at
the LILO prompt:
LILO> linux hda=noremap
which says not to do Disk Manager remapping for /dev/hda.
