Will this work on SATA drives? I built my own computer using 2 WD SATA 250 gig drives. THe mobo is MSI K8 Neo Platinum 939.
Athlon 3500 processor.
I installed windows XP (bought at a computer fair) it was counterfeit and I ended up having to buy a key from MS. They sent a new disk and said I needed to reinstall windows fromt thier disk.
I tried to do a new install and it didn't go through.
My error - 1st Time I built a computer- forgot to partition so have this giant HD. Windows will NOT let me delete the "partition" there is only 1. and I cannot install the new XP over the old. It's not letting me. I went into R for repair and tried to "format C:" and it won't do it.
What Can I do. I want to start over with a clean install, have the new xp os going, and be able to partition the huge drive in to 3 or 4 smaller drives. HELP !!!
