How to format a PS2 HDD?

I have the HDD that came with the Linux kit and I'm trying to format it with PS2 partitions.
I tried ps2menu, but it seems it doesn't have support for creating hdd partitions yet.
Any suggestions?

I used the DMS format tool to partition my HDD. You should be able to find it with a google search.

Eh eh I've got a HDD format problem too !

I have formatted my drive with HD Loader, I have created partitions using HDLoader and PSMNU-K for apps and demos

Unfortunately HDloader created bad partitions, how can I delete them ????

I tried DMS Format 1.0, it says "Fatal Error, unable to retrieve filesystem list"
I tried HDTool 1.1, it freezes at startup

I have run both from the mc0, host thru pslink and the hdd without success...
