| | Re: Format Disk 1 Hiatchi 320Gig hard drive Hi, You need to create a volume on the drive before you format it. Run diskmgmt.msc and right click the unallocated space to begin. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "barry//mary" <barrymary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:45D0D894-DF46-49B4-BB14-6775BA119E61@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a new Vista Ultimate OS and put an Hitachi 320Gig Hard drive in the > extra slot.
