My computer has a 80GB hard drive. Although 70GB of that is full of
rubbish.
I was told that I should format my hard drive and this will erase all my
data and give me my 80GB back.... but! when I go to do this it won't let me
do it and it says.... "Windows cannot format this drive. Quit any disk
utilities or other programs that are using this drive and make sure no
window
is displaying the contents of the drive. Then try formatting again." I
have
closed all window etc and tried this but it still says the above.... what
can
I do??? HELP!!!
