Use fdisk. All OSs comes with it (I think). It is very easy to use, just read the help for it before you start. //Daniel

Yeah i typed fdisk in the prompt Nothing ..

You have to type fdisk /dev/hda or whatever drive you want to format. //Daniel

As a general rule

Primary Master = /dev/hda
Primary Slave = /dev/hdb
Secondary Master = /dev/hdc
Secondary Slave = /dev/hdd
