Dos fdisk should be able to see all your partitions. It will show them as type "unknown". You should be able to delete the partitions and start over. If you still have problems try booting from a Linux bootdisk and run fdisk from there. Don't forget to run "fdisk /mbr" in dos to remove LILO from your master boot record (if you have LILO installed).
