1175878 2011-03-23 18:59:00 Yes, it calls it a "USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge". Last night I tried to reformat again but alas I can't get into the "bridge", so it may mean putting it back into the old PC and then reformatting.

"Admin tools, computer management" - that's what I looked for and couldn't find (similar to XP's computer mngmt) - b*gger, it must be hidden somewhere or there must be a Classic version of the control panel. Will look for it.

1175881 2011-03-24 18:57:00 Still haven't done any of this because SWMBO took control of the lappie last night. Will do this as soon as I've got the lappie back

1175882 2011-03-31 21:58:00 Right, it is seen in the control panel of disk management and is named Disk 1 with 466 GB unallocated space. So what now?

1175884 2011-04-01 00:22:00 I thought I did. O well, will do it again.

1175885 2011-04-02 02:33:00 OK, perhaps suggestions how to format this drive. Dod it again and again it's "unallocated" so obviously I'm doing something wrong
