Hi, I just got a new PC and a condition is that I cannot open the case for the first year or else the warranty is void :/ and it's a family PC so I can't just disregard the warranty.
My harddrive isn't recognised in the Windows XP format and partition screen but runs fine. So I checked My Computer and saw the drive's a SCSI and was wondering how I might go about reformatting this hard drive or making it recognisable so it can be easily reformatted with the Windows XP CD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS. I used Everrest to check out the specs of the drive and it came up as a SATA drive, can someone please explain why it would be "ST380817 AS SCSI Disk Device" under Driver Description yet under Hard Disk Name is "Barracuda 7200.7 SATA NCQ 80817".
