My Second Hard Drive wont format
I just built a system with vista 64 and installed 2 hard drives. My system drive is a WD raptor 300G and my media drive is a Samsung 500G drive. Vista installed ok, but when I go to format the Samsung in vista it will not format. Any ideas on how to format the drive so I can store large files on it. Thanks Mikey -- Pay-chekk |
