Re: how to format an external USB harddrive



Thanks Roger_B. Found the UBS harddisk in Disk Management and I can format
and make partition by right click on the harddisk.

Just to let you know it is a brand new UBS external hard disk (a normal
internal harddisk that you insert into a special UBS casing).

Thanks again and have a nice day.
