| 666376 | 2008-05-06 02:39:00 | Did you remove the hdd to format it? | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 666377 | 2008-05-06 02:52:00 | shouldn't make any difference ...........you dont need to format it anyway.......the install proceedure gives you the choice of a clean install......try a ram test........and a hdd test for good measure..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 666378 | 2008-05-06 02:54:00 | No - and it took a really long time to reformat hdd: Hitachi Deskstar 40Gb |
