I just bought a 80 Gig Maxtor HD
Installing the HD and clone the Disk to Disk using ghost..

All goes well .

except...

I since then using PMagic to get 2 extra partitions

My problem is..

now I cannot format the partition at all ?

reall strange..

I can format them using Pmagic to ntfs or to FAT32..

I can change the logical drive using the

dmt i.e diskmgmt.msc or pm

rename the partitions but I cannot format the drive?

The display prompt is some uitlity is using the disk.. close it and re-format again!?

Driving me nut ?I have check the service ... but which is one ?

Thanks
