So i've got this 80G HDD i used in my desktop a while back, when my desktop went nuts i just turned the HDD into an external HDD for my Mac. Now i've got new parts for my desktop and i want to use the 80G as the main internal HDD in my desktop, how do i reformat it back to Windows?


Edit: Sorry for the typos, currently doped up on cold medicine.
 
Yep, just pop it in, I'd probably delete and recreate the partition, and then format and reinstall Windows.
 
Ok well something else must not be working right then. Cause the HDD isn't running and i'm getting no display on my monitor, i also can't open the CD drive.
 
Is the board getting power? is the LED lit up?

Do the fans spin up?

Does it pass POST and beep once?

Can you access the bios??
 
I think i know what the problem is, apparently my board is only AGP 4x and my video card is APG 8x. Looks like i need a new mobo.
 
See i thought the same, but the box does not say AGP4X/8X it just says AGP8X so that must mean it can't run in a 4X slot. It's all good though, mobos like mine are quite inexpensive.
