The joy of S-ATA | HELP!!!!!
Hi
I bought a new HD the other day. Its a Samsung 120GB S-ATA. I thought yipee more space and S-ATA (first time using it).
I plugged it in after installing the driver lastnight to my MSI 845PE Max2 (PCE1) motherboard and it detected the disk and asked to create a array. Followed the auto setup guide and it created the array.
The problem is though in windows I can format the disk.
I have been able to create 2 partisions of 60gb (around that size anyway) but when I try to use windows format tool and click start the progress bar does nothing (aka no progress shows up).
I tried quick format but nothing also.
I am running Windows XP SP2.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
