| 641926 | 2008-02-19 17:47:00 | use a live linux disk such as Ubuntu run it from cd instead of Vista and format it that way if Vista won't allow you to do it, as Linux distro's have gparted built into them | gary67 (56) | ||
| 641927 | 2008-02-19 19:15:00 | use a live linux disk such as Ubuntu run it from cd instead of Vista and format it that way if Vista won't allow you to do it, as Linux distro's have gparted built into them Thats by far the easiest way. I did exactly that less than a week ago, with a HDD media player, worked a charm. :thumbs: If you havn't got a linux distro handy, or don't want to use up a lot of bandwidth downloading it, here (download.tuxfamily.org) is a link to download just the gparted live cd. (direct download). |
