Hey everyone,
Just went to format my main drive. It had windows 7 ultimate on there, with 2 partitions, boot and programs.
Loaded Win 7 DVD, went threw and viewd the 2 partitions, deleted both then expected to see one big "Unpartitiond Space" label... but nothing was there.
Went back and tried again, but no drive shows up at all, although its present in the Bios, and at boot listed before the DVD loads.
I tried loading the driver from the MOBO, but it says its not licenced after i select it, even though its freshly downloaded of nvida's site ... ( using a evga nForce 680i sli mobo) so windows 7 wont use it.
I took the drive out, pluged it into my USB caddy and pluged it inot my netbook im currently on hoping I could just format the ah heck. It picks up the drive and shows its a samsung spinpoint drive etc, but says its 0mb, and just apears like lost or dead, its there under disk managment but it shows no space on the drive at all ! :S
Not sure why deleting the partitions have caused the drive to not throw up them as free space now to format, very confused as what to do to get this back and to format it!
Any help I would be so happy for.
