Ok so I’ve just received my new WD raptor I’ve installed windows on it all fine and dandy but when coming format this HD it won’t let me.
I’ve got my windows CD in and I’ve set in the bios CD ROM as my first boot device but it won’t get that far as it comes up with a list saying "start in safe mode or normal" etc and I can’t stop it from doing that.
Sorry I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to this as this is the first time I’ve set up two HD's, I have no idea if ive done it right (by the way I’m going obviously not) any way ive got both HD’s connected via SATA but when I turned on my pc it always booted up from my old HD not my raptor so I couldn’t format it.
Can someone please help me?
Cheers
EDIT\ Please move this if its more suited to the hard drives forum
