i have very little experience on formatting harddrives (only through various linux installations), but to answer your question: i used the built-in tool in windows xp, logical disc manager. i began by removing all linux-partitions, and then i just created one big partition (hm, maybe too big?). after formatting the 74gb drive for a long time, up until 100%, i got a message that the formatting could not be completed.
can i use the recovery console to format, or fdisk (but that doesnīt work in xp, does it?)
