I have hard which was previously running as a master drive. I hooked it up as a slave and now I can only read it in safe mode. When I try to format the slave drive from Disk Management it goes upto 99% and then say 'hard was not formatted' I can't access in normal mode. I keep getting errors. I disabled all background software....even anti-virus. Nothing doing.
My OS is windows XP. P4. Can someone help me. I want to know why this is happening. If any more information about my computer is needed let me know.

I believe you need some kind of software to set up the second drive as a slave drive. It needs to be partitioned and then formated and this software usually comes with boxed hard drives or you can buy the software separately. I don't know any by brand names but many different ones are at your local software supplier. If you want to keep the data on your old drive then I suggest either copying the data to your new drive before you partition the old drive or buying an external USB harddrive enclosure and using an external USB port.

the question is why have you put the windows master disk as a slave.... and have you got windows installed on the new hard drive? reason being you can only have one instant of windows running on one computer,
