ok .. so lets just blank the partition info on the disk..

Code:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb bs=512 count=1

Careful with the of= ;)

Then continue with fdisk to recreate partition info, then step in at the pvcreate step

Code:
# fdisk /dev/hdb

n

p

1

<enter>

<enter>

t

1

8e

w

(thats from memory :))

ok did what znx told me and now /dev/hdb/ is just one blank partition

Code:
fdisk /dev/hdb   then   n  p  1  accept defaults

so it now looks like
