can't reformat 2nd hard disk
When windows in normal mode, if I right click on E disk and click format,
fill in the info and click OK, I get a message can't do. If I'm in safe mode, same thing. If I'm in safe mode command line, I don't know what I'm doing. And, I can't see anything in the BIOS that'll allow me to reformat a hard disk, although I suppose it is there. Can somebody help me? dennist685

can't reformat 2nd hard disk
If you are an administrator you can format any logical drive. However, if
your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from completing this procedure. Go to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Disk Management. Be sure to read the directions very carefully. -- Ted Zieglar "dennist685" wrote in message ...

Ted,
In the end after some tweaking, it worked. dennist685 "Ted Zieglar" wrote: If you are an administrator you can format any logical drive.
