? Hard Drive

[Decapad]

Hi - my PC has 2 hard drives in it - I want to wipe 1 out (clean of ALL data). I tried reformatting it & I keep getting an error message saying Windows couldn't complete it. Any suggestions as to how to do it? Thank you! D

Is it the drive that is active, the one with Windows installed? Have you partitioned your drives?

what did you do to try and reformat? my mind's gone blank but i'm 99% sure you have to boot form the windows cd. if you try and click on format when you right-click the drive letter it won't work if you are using that drive.

there's a freeware program you can practise with if you want. i can't remember the name, but if you need it i'm sure it can be found. i think they have it at www.softpedia.com/

i think this is it.
