Hard Drive error

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

You should run 'format c0t1d0' and label the disk. Then take a look at the partition table and see what's left.

format c0t1d0s2 = cannot format this drive please use your manufactuer supplied formatting utility

then i choose the label option and i get
label= ready to label, continue?

if i press enter it repeats itself
i type yes it drops back to the format>

so not sure what to do

I hope you see the difference "c0t1d0" != "c0t1d0s2"
