Right click My Computer->Manage. Disk Management.




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

BAah! I think there is something wrong with my external device (the enclosure, not the hdd) it cannot format correctly, I've ejected/reinserted several times and it just doesn't want to work. I definitely need a new one.)

Rarely happens to be the case, but have you tried changing the jumper position? Sometimes you'll need to set your jumper to cable select for it to work properly. If it's already in cable select, you might want to try master. :)

The application you need is gParted, the PartitionMagic clone. It can read, write, edit, resize, and reformat any type of drive or file system, including NTFS and ext3.

it's actually progressed so I believe it is working. I still pray to the hardware gods though....
[edit] yep. Worked 100%
There's something wrong with the external hardware or the config.
