Someone managed to create a partition of unknown type on our PC/AT
clone here at work, and the DOS FDISK program won't touch it.  I
would like to delete the thing (It's 16 Meg!) but am kind of at a
loss at the moment -- sure, I could low-level format the hard disk,
but that seems excessive (not to mention being more work than I care
to go to at the moment.)  Does anyone know how to delete a partition
that FDISK declares untouchable because it is type "UNKNOWN"?
