| 165765 | 2003-08-06 02:52:00 | Hi I am just wondering, i have 1 main hdd, but separate into 2 partition... The main C drive has already been format already, but i really want to Format D without disturb the whole Windows XP system... At the moment, when I click on my D Drive and click format, it shows that format menu windows out, but when I click format, it said I am not allow to do so..... I am already on Administrator login... Any reply will be much appreciated Jacky |

Sounds like your OS is currently installed on D: or perhaps it hasn't been setup correctly. Either way going into Disk Management should give you some more indfoprmation about that particular partition |
