552875 2007-05-25 03:10:00 I have partitioned my first hard drive C & D.

But how do I partition my second drive E & F

And how do I format them.

I partitioned and formatted C while installing windows. But can't work out how to format D

I've tried Admin tools, but can't find anything about format there.

Thanks

552876 2007-05-25 03:15:00 If E & F is a separate hdd from C & D.

Go to disk Computer Management / Disk Management in control panel.

Or is this where you've been?

If the entries here say unallocated right mouse on it / them / format

552880 2007-05-25 03:30:00 Can you post a screenshot of your Disk Management screen? mejobloggs (264)
552881 2007-05-25 03:39:00 Its the other way round .

Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management .

Click on Disk Management . The hdds in the system are on the right .

Are we talking about XP?

552882 2007-05-25 03:50:00 Also, you might have to initialize the desk before it lets you format it.

Right click > initialize... maybe

552883 2007-05-25 04:07:00 Got this one sorted.
It was the right click that I needed.

I now have the second disk showing. Waiting to be partitioned when D finishes it's format.

Easy with a lot of help. First computer I have owned with two hard drives.

Thanks everyone.
