Hey sorry it's been a few days but I had to go out of town. I'm actually doing it now, but I'm a little confused about what you said at step 6. So I exited the command window but I should or shouldn't go ahead and reinstall windows ? The way it's stated it sounds like your telling me after I exit the command window to just turn the computer off
Yes, just turn it off at that point. You don't need to install Windows.
well i did everything and plugged the other drive back in and still wont let me convert it to gpd disk in computer managment
here is a pic of what it looks like now
That's interesting.
You were able to boot with just disk 0 connected, correct?
i didnt try to boot with out the other drive connected. ill disconnect now and report back
yes i was able to boot without the 3 tb being connected. its not connected right now
Cool. I'm not sure why Windows isn't letting you convert.
You can wipe the 3TB drive from the Windows Setup DVD. Only connect your 3TB drive, boot to Windows Setup, open a command prompt, and do:
1. list disk (make sure the 3TB drive is disk 0)
2. select disk 0
3. clean
4. exit
Then you can shut down and plug your boot drive back in.
ok ill try that next
DUDE YOU ARE MY LIFE SAVER!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! IT WORKED GREAT!! thanks for all your time and help. so glad i found this fourm. :)
