I wanted to know if you were still trying to get your system up and running with the WD 2gig drive not if you were using the WD utility disk. I'm going to assume you are using the 2 gig drive.

I don't use WD personally but I'd expect Redwolf is correct that the WD Data Lifeguard disk(s) should have a zerofill utility and that you need to run the "full" option. However... if you are correct that the WD disks don't work on your 2 gig WD drive (very strange and unlikely but...) then I'd use a different zero fill utility.
Personally, I use the Seagate DiscWizard Starter Edition which is a free download. http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/...s/discwiz.html

It will take you thru making a 2 floppy set. After you create both disks, boot with them to run the program. Under UTILITIES you will find the zero fill option. It WILL work an ANY and ALL drives except SCSI I believe.
