super9394: there are some tools at maxtor and westerndigitals web sites that will format and partition a drive. they usully will work on oher drives. might try that.
on a 3gig drive might be better to use fat32 as ntfs is good for a file over 4gig which you can't do on a 3gig drive.
wats the difference between fat32 and the ntfs? anyway i formatted it to fat32 and nothing. it still says capacity - 1.84gig. now im in serious need of help.
does bios see the drive as a 3gig. either repartition & reformat the drive in xp or use a win9x bootdisk that will show your c:drive as non-dos to delete the 3gig partition, remake the partition so can be formated
Baabaa, I had a similar prob with my zip drive not been recognised. I followed your instructions & assigned a drive letter, had to format though, works a treat now!!!!! I had lots of info on it, but I had all of it on my various 4 hard drives. Nice one, I have learnt something today!!!
