    What program did you use?

    Connect the 20gig drive as a 2nd device, and use Window's Disk Management to reformat it.

    Are you sure that you do not mean "partitioned" your hard drive? If your formated it you would have had to reinstall your operating system if it was your c-drive. -- Savage
