A quick and easy way of formatting drives is to get hold of a windows 98 boot disk and then use the command line program fdisk on there. Simply Boot the computer with the disk in the drive Wait until you get a little '>' that you can type at Type 'fdisk' and the options on the screen are fairly self explanatory :) Note: I dont know if this works with multiple drives so you may have to plug it in on its own as the master to do that :)

Ok, I have here a Soyo SY-6BA+III motherboard which I got given to me by a friend but i cant seem to get it to boot.. So far I have tried: Cleared the CMOS Checked that the ram i am using is the correct type - in this case PC100 Tried the motherboard both in and out of the case Tried both with all of the hdd, power led, speaker jumpers connected and disconnected (started by shorting the power switch with a screwdriver) Now the problem is, it turns on and the processor fan spins around and a little LED which is hard wired to the motherboard goes on but i get no beeping (or speaking as suggested by the Soyo website) to suggest that something is wrong and nothing is displayed on the monitor. The PSU, memory and graphics card are all in good working order because they were taken from this computer that I am using at the moment. Anybody got any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or things I should try next? Thanks, General Error
