i pu tin my HD and boot my slayers cd, no problem, go to format and it says formating C, E, F, X, Y, Z and so forth, and when its done all parition sizes are still 0 and its unformatted, anyone know what the problem might be?

maybe i will have better luck formatting through FTP, anyone know the commands offhand? im using flash fxp

Yea I would ditch slayers for this. Just do it this way and see if it works better for you.

well E seems to have formatted, but formatting F just serves to lock it up, lousy stupid inferior hard drives
