I have a new Vista Ultimate OS and put an Hitachi 320Gig Hard drive in the
extra slot. It shows up in Computer Management disk drives along with the WDC drive that came with. Populating the drive shows Disk: Disk 1 Type: Dynamic ond online..If I go to ..Storage and Disk Managment Disk 1 shows up as unallocated.I tried to format disk 1 /FS:NTFS /V:dorathy to no avail. How do I get Vista to recongnize this dirve???? thanks in advance...BMR

Format Disk 1 Hiatchi 320Gig hard drive
Hi,
You need to create a volume on the drive before you format it. Run diskmgmt.msc and right click the unallocated space to begin. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "barry//mary" wrote in message ...

Rick....That was the ticket. Been too long since I had to format a disk and
the grey cells had stopped working. Thanks for the help! "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, You need to create a volume on the drive before you format it.
