After doing a low-level format of the hard drive and running a verification check without complaint, I am unable to install Debain because when the installation program runs fdisk to set up the swap partition, it immediately chokes, saying "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition". I can't believe that the hard drive is bad, as it worked fine under NT before the formatting, and the SCSI disk utilities detect no problems. What can I do?
