Re: 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

Use the disk management in 'Administrative Tools', and don't forget to initialize the disk first..
