re: can't reformat the hard-drive Sunday, May 22, 2005 at 8:01 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by rob (3 messages posted) Guys. Just for the reference. I finally fixed the problem. The problem was with the jumper on the hard-drive. It was set to 'cable-select' instead of 'master'. After I changed it to 'master' I had no problem whatsoever.
