Hi All
I have a secondary internal 220 gig hard drive I use for, amongst other
things, backing up my data and operating system. I decided tonight to tidy
it up and clear some of the no longer needed stuff on it. I reached the
point when I could no longer delete items as access was denied. Then I
thought the easiest way out was to re-format the drive as there was nothing
on it I need. But when I went into My Computer high lighted the drive and
brought up the context menu to select Format it said Windows could not do
this as something was using the drive. I closed down everything I could find
to no avail.
Has anyone any ideas as to what I should do now please.
Many thanks
Roger
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
