I have a 100MB ZIP 'utilities' disc, which I would like to re-use, as I don't
have a Windows system on which to run the utilities anyway!

However, it is write-protected, presumably by some magic flag on the disc itself
since I can see no plasticky-bits to jiggle with !!

Does anyone one know how to un-protect the disk so I can fdisk it clean for
use with linux ?
