"Windows was unable to complete the format." Sunday, January 23, 2005 at 9:14 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Daniel (3 messages posted) I just got a brand new Western Digital 80Gig hard drive. I partitioned it so my C: (Windows) drive is 10Gig and my D: (backup files) to be the remaining. I formatted the C: drive with FAT32. I installed Windows 2000 on it. I got all the updates yada yada yada. Okay. Now I go into My Computer, right click the D drive, click Format, keep all the settings at default, then click Start. It gets to the end like it's about to finish, then it says "Windows was unable to complete the format." Anyway, I'm asking if there is a way I can fix this. Thank you.
