re: What do I use to format a HD? Saturday, March 18, 2006 at 11:16 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by geek9pm (1438 messages posted) If you have the new drive as a slave, or if it is on the second cable. you can find it in the Disk Manager, which is part of the administrator tools. From control panel click on that, click on computer management, thne select disk management. Your original HD should be drive 0, then new one is drive 1. You can delete any alien partition and create a new one. CAUTION== deleting a partition destoys any data, make sure to select the new drive! After partition, you can format it a gie it a drive letter. Geek9pm On Saturday, March 18, 2006 at 11:09 pm, Paul wrote: >I have just put a second HD in my PC. It had been formatted on a Mac.
