Hmmmm,
Guess we could use a little more info here  Is this the same hard drive as before? Are you using the same boot disk? Have you tried another boot disk? Are you sure you are starting from the A: prompt? Let us know and we can go from there  ------------------ Waiting patiently for the future to arrive. Frank's Place

If this was a working drive, go to the manufacturer's website and download their drive installation software, run it and completely repartition it, then format should work.

Hello w2wlord
This happened on my son's PC when a shop re-partitioned his drive with a program other than "fdisk". I figured that the drive could then only be re-formatted using the same program, so I re-partitioned using using "fdisk" and that fixed it. |
