Re: HDD Issue

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Assuming hd is identified in the bios, identified in Disk Management, and
Maxtor Power Max suggests hd is fine,and you still cannot Format.
Then try www.bootdisk.com/dostools create a Fdisk floppy see if this can be
used, ensure you identify the correct hd!

The answer is "The format did not complete successfully" using Computer
