HD format troubles
Hello,
I have a 5.1 GB Maxtor drive. When I tried to format it into 2 partitions it would only create one so I was left with this strange f: drive which shows up in my computer but cannot be accessed. Every time I empty the recycle bin I am asked if I want to format F:. If I try it says it can't format it because it is either not formatted or it is damaged. I dunno it worked fine before! Any way I got Partition Magic, it won't run even from a boot disk because it says I have an EZ-drive. What is an EZ-drive??? Some sort of tape drive? System doesn't know about it. I have a 1505 SCSI with a scanner. Epson printer, cd, 2HD, banshee, 32mb, AMD K62 333 @ 400.
thanks
