Hi Inder, Try formatting the harddisk with gparted [0]. If you do not have any linux distro installed, try any live-cds. I guess most of them come with a disk partitioner (mostly gparted). You can also give a try to gparted live cd [1] If you have a linux distro installed (which i am not sure as you talk about windows), you can use cfdisk[3] to format you external harddisk.

You never know when you blink your eyes and all your data is gone.Happened to me earlier and it is coming from personal experience :( -- cheers amit _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
