Problems Formatting HDD
Hey guys, I have two HDD in my computer, a WD 1TB Black with Windows 7 Professional on it and an older WD 320GB. The 320 was used as a backup for vista when I had it installed and now that I have 7 installed I would like to format that drive and use it as a backup for 7. When I try to format the 320 windows says it can't format the drive. Why? There is nothing that I need anymore on this drive and would really like to prepare it for backing up my 1TB. FYI.....I did a clean install of 7 from the upgrade version of 7......if this makes any diference. I did have the 320 plugged in while the clean install was taking place. I thought Iread something about this a few months ago but I can't seem to find what I maybe read. Thanks in advance.
