Networking/Hard Drive

[Dbarselow]

Hi
I removed my hard drive from a dsl account, I am wondering
should I have used sysprep to prepare the drive for
removal from the network. I did this to format the drive
(it was acting funky) and thought that it might have been
infected. I then did a low level format with all zeros I
followed up with a fresh install from a cd-rom boot, only
it would not see it at booting it would fly right by the
boot from cd rom question that it asked. So my question
is, is sysprep a program that might have helped me in this
episode (Ticket) Oh I mention all this because I read once
that the sid# is involved with sysprep I am guessing for
sercurity reasons and removing the drive with all things
considered may have responed better when the reinstall was
attemped.

Thanks

Hi
Nah! If you reformat a drive you do not have to do any thing
pre-reformatting, since reformatting erases every thing.
