Windows 7 can't format my WD6401AALS
Well i just recently got this system together everything is brand new, and when i try to install windows 7 64-bit home premium it cant see any drives. when i try to load my hard drive it requests that i format the drive. But windows immediately replies saying that "Windows cannot format c:" telling me to check if the drive is connected of if its a read-only file. The BIOS can detect all 640GB of the hard drive, so i know its connected, and there is nothing inside the hard drive at all, so i doubt its a read-only file. I did some surfing and learned that this Hard Drive should not require additional software for windows 7, yet windows 7 appear to say the opposite. I've been working on this build for over a month now and would really like it if i could get this thing up and running already.
