Problem formatting a Linux HD to Win XP

I've just attempted to re-format a Maxtor HD that once contained a Linux installation. The system comes up with a error when I try to format the now unallocated disk space to either FAT32 or NTFS.

I vaguely remember that it is necessary to do a bit of fiddling with the boot sector to remove some Linux-related infor from the HD's 0(?) sector. However, I don't recall what it is I have to do.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
