I have a 500 Gig Western digital HD, that I was using for files, under xp.
I cleared the files and reformatted it to a logical drive.
Then removed the XP hard drive, so that only this drive appeared to the computer.
I loaded windows 7 disk to the CD/DVD drive and when it got to the 500 gig HD, it said it could not do anything.
whats up with this? It won't format it or anything.
Wait.. update.
I had the option to delete this xp created partition. it did so. Then it formatted the drive for windows 7.. so as I was here typing this out, I figured out the problem.
And have decided to go ahead a post this, in case someone else has this problem.
