I have a drive (Deskstar) of 20Gb. The BIOS of the PC reports the
drive as 20Gb correctly. When I try to setup W2K, the setup program
reports a Unformatted or Damaged partition. So I delete the partition
and create a new one of say 10Gb. The machine formats it as NTFS,
copies the files and reboots - but does nothing else. Put the drive in
another machine with W2K already installed and it says the drive
capacity is only 2Gb. I have deleted the MBR using IBM's Drive Fitness
Test software. I have run the full set of DFT checks and it reports no
problems with the drive.
Should I perform a low level format maybe?
Any suggestions?
Help greatly appreaciated.
