SATA Hard drive problem...

[Larry Shields]

*Here is my second problem, I just bought a 320 sata internal hd, now I look
at the status of this drive by using ubuntu's System>Administration>Disk
Utility program, it show that the drive is in good health, but when I try to
assess it it tells me that it is busy...I called WD about the problem, the
tech told me that the drive needs to be formatted but now this is a problem
since I do not have any WINDOSE CD or software to format this new hard
drive...I even tried it using the Disk Utility program, but again it says
that it is busy and I can not access it...I've never had a problem like this
before, and have no-idea as too what I can do so that I can use this new HD,
if there is nothing that anyone can suggest, then I am going to take it back
too Best Buy...I will not go out and buy WIN XP just to get it working...

Thanks again for any help...

Larry
