crowichi · 08-24-2007, 01:20 AM

I recently got a new HD and installed Windows XP on it, so that the old drive with a previous windows install can be used for my music. However, there is no option to delete partition or format the old drive in disc manager, most likely due to there being a Windows installation on it.

Is there any other way I can format the drive?
