Shackman 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 Its probally in another partition that is not detected. Some reasons is that either the HDD is faulty or its an OS problem. Try using a software to combine all the partitions altogether and use the format function in MS-DOS mode. It should work out fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
