Re: Can't format 200 GB Maxtor SATA drive with Windows XP

Thanks Jim. Windows reported the SATA PCI card is working properly. It's not configured for RAID. I uninstalled MaxBlast 4 and I formatted the SATA drive (not using the Quick option) from within Disk Management. But all I got was: "The format did not complete successfully."

Any ideas what to try next, please?

Thanks,
Lucas.

Delete the Maxtor MaxBlast software, make sure the PCI SATA card is installed and working properly using device manager. Be sure it is set to run the correct setting for a single drive, not a RAID.

Then try the format command using the disk management function of XP. Right click My Computer, select manage, then Storage/Disk Management.
