No, its formatted as a master but the 2GB Clips are in place as a slave. How do i format it as a slave seeing i have no disk from it?

Ok, first double check to see if the hard drive your operating system is on is set to Master and the new one you added is set to slave. If thats all right then you may have to format the hard drive you just added.  Since some Windows versions or motherboards won't reconize a already used harddrive from antoher computer you have to delete all partistions on that drive. Repartistion it with the maximum useage for space. Then format it. Which then it should give it a drive letter and Windows will reconize it as a drive in the computer.


Yes its set to slave on the 2GB Clip board. How should i format it and delete it seeing as i have no hard drive formatting tools and my computer isnt recognising its there?
