| Instead of erasing and formatting, try repartitioning. Select the actual device in the left-hand sidebar (it's the left-most non-indented listing for your hard drive), then click the "Partition" tab. Select how many partitions you want, then format away.
Repartitioning wipes out ALL partitions on the disk, so those "phantom" partitions will disappear.
