I've got a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 (200GB) and it shows up fine in BIOS and in MHDD and the RAID BIOS config, but when i try to install windows on it or view it in another computer as a non-boot disc it doesn't exist! SEAtools told me the file system was corrupt. There is no data on this drive i care about. I would just like to wipe it clean and start completely new. How can i do this?

I just did a FASTERASE in MHDD. Does this mean it has erased everything including partition information and all that?

The windows installer still cannot detect the hard drives existance. Why is this?

You cannot "fast erase" a part of the drive, only the whole drive can be erased by this command
