format command is good for Solaris\ but not supported by Linux as far as I know (at least for ubuntu), Linux also has a good commnad fdisk, but I don't know how to use get information about HDD in my system. I tried this:

fdisk -l /dev/sda1

Disk /dev/sda1: 11.5 GB, 11531810304 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1p1 ? 13578 119522 850995205 72 Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda1p2 ? 45382 79243 271987362 74 Unknown
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda1p3 ? 10499 10499 0 65 Novell Netware 386
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda1p4 167628 167631 25817+ 0 Empty
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
