Leave the CMOS battery out of the system for a while (in some instance, up to 30 minutes), and then put it all back together.

That's just impossible. There has to be *some* way to be able to reformat this drive.
Trust me, if you can get the disk in a system, you can reformat it. I know of debug commands you can enter in DOS that will wipe out the drive. Heck, using the UNIX dd command correctly can simply write all 0's to the drive, effectively wiping out anything on the drive. This doesn't just reformat it-- it wipes out the partition table itself. That should do it for you, and you should be able to reuse that drive afterwards.

You can always try the Ultimate Boot CD. Not sure it would help, but whenever I have problems related to that I use it.
