I recently aquired a system that I'm working on for someone. When I use the
Dell Resource CD provided I goto Format the drive using NTFS Quick. It kicks
back a message saying "Windows was unable to Format the partition because
this disk may be damaged"
I have two brand new seagate drives in the system. Using the Seagate
utility I can format the drives etc. However I noticed when I format with
Seagate I go into copy files on the Windows setup. It FLYS through it, but
this errors out at the end. \
My Speculation is Bad MB, Bad Processor. Or possibly Bad Memory but I tried
memory swap with no luck. Ideas? What does XP look for when trying to
Format?
