I'm having a problem formatting my H/D. When I get to the FDISK Option screan I get a messege flashing at the bottom of the screan "Unable to access Drive 1". When I tried to install Win2k before that I got a message: Disk I/O Error: Status = 00001000.I tried to use this drive as a secondary drive my Win xp OS but it did not even recognize it. Please Help!!
