Drew, go into control panel and see if you have administrative tools in there. If you do, go in there and go to computer management, then double click storage. Go to disk management (local) and then you will see a list of your drives that are connected to your IDE hosts. From there you will be able to delete partitions and format the drives.


If that fails i will send you a program which you put on a floppy which makes it bootable then you need to fill the drive with zero's, can take up to 6 hours!
