Hi,
Recently,I have carried out 'wipe free space' using an internet cleaning tool.But to my horror,after cleaning I can't open my drive:D.When I click on it,it states that the disk in drive:D is not formatted and ask if I want to format it now?I do not really know what went wrong but no choice I have to format it.The problem is when I click 'Yes',nothing happens.So I go to My computer>manage>disk management>format on drive:D.It is alright at the begining but started to show no progress when it reaches 28%.This drive:D is my slave hard drive,not the master one where the operating system is.This is a 80GB Maxtor 6Y080L0 hard drive and I am running on windows XP serv.pack2.Pls advice on how to format this drive.Thanks a lot!
 
Do you have windows XP, if so then you can boot from your XP CD (not the restore one) and then delete the partition on your slave hard drive, reboot, then try to reformat in windows.
