Assuming a disk utility fail you could use a linux boot tool to get rid
of the fat partition. Parted Magic is less than 100mb, and does a fine
job out of a pendrive (SD cards too).
You could have a damaged disk - I had some issues with a 500gb MyBook,
earlier this year.

I picked up a 500 gig Maxtor drive for next to nothing. I hooked it up
to my IMac 24, and system 10.5 recognizes it, and I can access the files
that are on it. But I want to erase it. It's formated with MSDOS FAT,
and the Mac disk utility won't erase it. What do I need to reformat it
to Mac Extended?
