I popped it into a Win7 system and when I opened the disk management dialog it asked if I wanted to setup the drive with either MBR or GUID. I choose MBR, created a new volume, then deleted it.

I can also hit it with Spinrite just to make sure. --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundation.org> +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 11:44 AM, Christopher Fisk <chr...@mhonline.net>wrote: > On Wed, 22 Sep 2010, Brian Weeden wrote: > > Thanks guys.
