Hard Drive Format Issues

Rudekaiser · Nov 16, 2013

Im about to throw this dam drive out the window im trying to format a brand new drive i know im not that computer savvy but it keeps says windows cannot format the system partition on this disk so i go into its properties and i see system in the security tab and i delete it still nothing.

"system partition" typically refers to the windows installation your are running from. That of cause can not be formate. If it's a brand new drive in opposite, you need to create a partition first.

We need more details! Please provide the full story! You say it's fresh from the package, but is it an internal or external drive? You are trying to format it from explorer or disk management?
