Hi all,

I currently have 2 HDD's in my system (C) Drive and (F) Drive (which has an old Win 2k operating system on it and other crap). I would like to return the (F) HDD to original condition so that I can pull it and install it in another computer. I have tried the "Format" option, but it will not allow me to proceed with that ("Windows cannot format this drive...etc")

Any suggestions? (other than using a large magnet...LOL)

Thanks,
Mj

Why don't you take out that hard drive, put it in that other computer, boot up with a Win98 boot disk and format from there? Hope this helps.
