Hard drive problem!

31 March 2002, 21:51

I have a scsi hardrive and it works fine.

I used to be able to go into the hd partion tool on wb 3.0 but now it just says that it is checking for the hardrive and just freezes!!

I want to totally format my hardrive. Is it possible to format it so all the partitions are wiped as well? So it is just like a fresh, new blank drive?

Yup it is

Just have a look here : http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminetbin/find?scsiformat

It´s a program that does a low-level format ! It´s a bit tricky to use, just follow the instructions in the help file included

Once it is totally wiped how can I partition the drive again and install workbench?

Once it is low-level formatted, use the normal HDToolBox or even better HDInstTools from Aminet to re-partitionate your drive
