Tried formating a maxtor 60gig. Would only format 10 percent. Maxtor replaced drive with same type drive. Drive partioned OK and formated OK. Loaded win 2000 OK. Found out I needed win98 on machine. When I go to reformat I get 5 percent and I comes up with Not Ready Format Terminated. Tried Removing the Primary partion and readding the primary partion, which verified OK and still only format 5 percent before format terminates .
