What is:
- the OS/2 version?
- the manufacturing date of your BIOS?

Have you tried to boot OS/2 from its install floppies and run fdisk from
there?
Or boot DOS from floppy and zero out the entire MBR?

I never had this problem, but what I understood from earlier messages about
similar problems, if DOS is booted from the harddisk, that Diskmanager always
gets in the way: under DOS, Diskmanager redirects disk writes to other sectors 
than what the software see.
