Re: REFORMAT PARTITIONED HD ON USB

Hi!
Yes, I have a partioned hard drive on a USB "Removal EXTERNAL" for data. I
should have been more specific. But in any event i knew about Windows Disk
Management (WinXP) and how to find it at start in Help Support, but could
not get it to go. All i got was a lot of instructions but nothing that would
put it in motion when i clicked on "format" and other regarding partition. I
can't use fdisk on my computer because i have no floppy drive.
