Hello,

One of my hard disk partition is unable to be formatted by Windows and when I try to open it, Windows ask me to format it.

It is now empty of programs and has a free space 37.5 GB and any program of checking hard disk can recognise it and asks me to plug it in just like it doesn't exist. How to fix this problem?

System Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

Hi,

Just Right Click My Computer and choose Manage
Then at Computer Management choose Disk Management
At Disk 2, right click at your Protect Removable Disk ex: "Removable Disk (F:)"
Choose Change Drive Letter and Paths for .....
Simply Click REMOVE, then Click ADD
Try to format yours then try to copy another files

hello
you have more than a method to solve your problem
--------------
method 1
first thru windows itself
start up your windows
right click on My computer > Manage> Disk managment
You will find your hard disk partitions
right click on the patition has the problem and click >Format
and the Yes on any messege will pop up and it will be formatted.
---------------
method 2
Using some boot cd like Hiren Boot or anyhow just use some application like Partition magic or Smart FDISK or Acronise disk director or even use Dos
whatever availble for you.. just tell me and I will tell you exactly how does this work

---------------
Method 3
download software which can do this like,, EASEUS patition manager or partition magic but I would prefere the two above methods

try and feedback ... good luck

CD-ROM/DVD drive won't work

Hello,

When we put a CD-R in it shows a little disc with an hour glass on the desktop. When we click on the drive it says, "please insert disc" as if there is not one in there already. It does not matter if it is a blank disc or one with something on it. I really need to get these to work so I can back up files and save files on a disc. Could someone please help me? The top drive is DVD RW. It will not recognize or play any type of disc. The bottom drive is DVD ROM. It will play an audio CD. It played an old Family Values Tour CD .It will play a commercially recorded CD. It played or opened up a disc I had for a free 1175 hours AOL disc. It will not recognize a blank/empty CD...

how to reformat Western Digital Element 1 TB

Hello,
i just bought the WD 1 TB and I see that everyone says to 'reformat to NTFS'...but I can't seem to figure out how to reformat it. There are no 'menus' to go to ... you just plug it in and start adding to it..
No instructions or manual either.
I don't know if I need to reformat using VISTA or via this WD HDD
HELP!
thx
