Hi,
Anyone know how to get a IDE drive that's been in a PS2 or XBox back to use
in a PC? The one I've got won't set a partition using FDISK even after
using DBAN on it.

Thanks
Al Reeve

go to the manufacturer of the harddisks web site and down load their tools
and you should be OK. and PS2's don't have harddisks only X-BOX does.

Not when you buy a PS2, but you can add one if you want to.
