 |I made a stupid mistake the other day and I need some help!
 |
 |I used scsiformat to low-level format a parallel port ZIP drive
 |and now I can't even fdisk the disk because it says it can't 
 |read the master partition table.
 |
 |Please help me.

First thing I'd try is, boot DOS and use ziptools (scsiutil) to do a long
reformat.  If it succeeds, you're back in business.
