New external HDD

[Guest]

Is anyone available to help me with my new external Hard drive?

It is a 235 GB external disk and after repeated tries to format and
partition it in Disk Manage to NTFS I keep getting the following error
message: "The operation did not complete because the partition or volume is
not enabled. To enable the
partition or volume restart the computer."

I restart and go back to disk manage and get the same message. The drive is
visible in Disk Manage but as RAW not NTFS.

This operation was done on my home computer. On my office computer the
partition/format on the disk works fine and I was even able to move
files on to the disks.

I would be very happy if someone would have any ideas?

disk jumpers and you restart your computer

Hi Himanshu. Yes the jumpers are set properly. The disk works on other
computers and I can even move files onto it.

On my computer I cannot format and partition to NTFS. I keep getting the
message "The operation did not complete because the partition or volume is
not enabled. To enable the partition or volume restart the computer."

Any other ideas?

hi, actually i had faced that kind of problem. you have to format the all
disks through BIOS. are u using windows XP, if yes then you insert you XP CD
& go to BIOS and Boot your system by cd drive. after formating reinstalling
XP. you'll see your new hard disk will working properly. may i have your
email id please! actually i want to send some attachments regarding "how to
add your additional hard disk"
