    Do you have to use the NTFS file system? Try FAT32 if not. Try booting PC with a WIN98SE of WINME boot disk and the run FDISK and delete non-DOS partition the create new partition. Restart with boot floppy and format c: /s

    You need to go to the manufacturer's website and download their tools for their drives.
