I have a CF disk in my secondary channel, only 1 primary partition.
I played with the EWF for a while but now I cannot delete the
partition.

When I use a Dos boot disk on the target machine, Fdisk will hang when
I try to view the partition. GDisk will give assertion error and
fails.


I can put in my XP system with a USB-CF reader, but in the disk
management tool the delete partition option is greyed out.. The disk
still reads/write in my workstation (win2k) and XPE itself, but in DOS
I cannot read it anymore, nor can I remove the partition by any means.

Any ideas? do I have to send it back?
 
1. You can always zero MBR. By different tools like diskedit or by your
simple app.
2. Try diskpart.exe from Windows XP
3. Try "etprep /delete" from Windows XPe
