I have a hard drive that we are trying to jumpstart in a sunblad 1500. we keep getting errors. I placed the drive in my 1500. I want to wipe the drive clean because for some reason it has a partition table. and when i go to format and try to format the drive it says it can not use a program. is there another way to wipe clean this secodary drive?

i tried
echo "PLEASE work" | dd of=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 bs=1 count=512
and this did nto work at all either
