Hard Drive Formatting Problem


WarriorWarrior

Recommended Posts

Is anyone familiar with the "Error: Format did not complete successfully" when trying to format a new hard disk in Disk Manager in XP SP1? I got that error and rebooted the computer to try again because after I got that error it locked me out of explorer. After reboot I cannot see the HDD or partition at all in Disk Manager, but device manager says it's connected via firewire.

I'm pretty much stumped. Any ideas? :unsure: Is the drive fucked or is there still a way to get the drive/partition back?
