I installed a second hard drive (slave) that had Windows
XP installed. All works ok, but I want to format the
hard drive and start clean. Everytime I attempt to
format this drive, I get a message that I cannot format
because the drive is in use. I don't see how it can be
in use because there is nothing left on it except that
copy of xp I can't get rid of. I'm booted off the Master
hard drive which also has XP installed.
Any ideas how I can format this second hard drive?
