OK, you're confusing me...
you formatted your Hard Drive.
But I thought you get a message telling you the partition cannot be formatted.
how could you of formatted it if it said you couldn't?

Post some specs like how many HD you have and how big they are.
also make sure the hard drive is connected to the master IDE connector not the slave and that the jumper is set for master.
