corrupt volume name?

I reformatted a hard drive in preparation for Win98 installation. When installer ran scandisk, it found errors: something about tables being wrong size. Rebooted to floppy. Tried to reformat “Check existing disk format. Invalid device parameters from device driver.”. Went into fdisk. Volume name is a bunch of gibberish non-standard characters. Can’t delete partition as I can not enter in volume name. Help!
