I have just purchase a new hard drive (Hitachi 40GB)for my Sony Vaio Notebook (which only worked for a little less than one month before the HD quit...I sent it back and they "fixed" it and about two weeks later the HD had the same problem) that was several years ago and now I want to bring it back to life. I want to install it myself, but before I begin I just wanted to find out how to do it the right way. How do I format a drive that has nothing on it and I am assuming it has nothing on it? I think I have to do a DOS FORMAT command or do I just tell the BIOS to do it?
TIA.
