| Did your HD come with some sort of embedded partition or HD management software? It sounds like it did as it's preventing the HD from being formatted. |

| Hi Jedi Master, Yes my HD is 149,05GB and it has a primary Partition with 149,04 GB and a Unallcated Partition with 9MB. I can't delete this small partition, I just can make at least 1MB. So Vista don't let me Format the Hard Disk, because of the two partitions. |

| Is this a "custom" built system or one from a mfgr (HP, Dell, etc.?) If from a mfgr, then I'd recommend checking their site for any information. If it's a custom system, let us know the make and type of HD (i.e. IDE, SATA, etc) ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 700C - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, nVidia 5200; SB Audigy SE; Windows Vista Business, Photoshop CS3, Nikon D200 and D100 |

Hi again,
This is a two weeks custom built system.
Intel core duo 6600
RAM 2GB
Motherboard - ASUS P5W DH deluxe
Graphik Card - TwinTech 8600GT 256MB
Hard Disk master - Serial SATA 160MB
Hard Disk slave - Serial SATA 320MB - Formated
Hard Disk IDE 80MB - Formated
I googled vor a while and I saw that some people had the same problem with windows XP (System Partition is not allowed to be formatted)
and they should delete the partitions, but in Vista it dos' not let me delete the small 9MB partition. This post was last edited by stubu on Saturday, June 23, 2007 4:25:48 PM. |

GParted - free soft directly from linux for managing partitions. It is bootable from CD (download -> burn -> reboot and have fun).
