*Here is my second problem, I just bought a 320 sata internal hd, now I<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
look at the status of this drive by using ubuntu's<br>
System>Administration>Disk Utility program, it show that the drive is in<br>
good health, but when I try to assess it it tells me that it is busy...I<br>
called WD about the problem, the tech told me that the drive needs to be<br>
formatted but now this is a problem since I do not have any WINDOSE CD<br>
or software to format this new hard drive...I even tried it using the<br>
Disk Utility program, but again it says that it is busy and I can not<br>
access it...I've never had a problem like this before, and have no-idea<br>
as too what I can do so that I can use this new HD, if there is nothing<br>
that anyone can suggest, then I am going to take it back too Best<br>
Buy...I will not go out and buy WIN XP just to get it working...<br>
<br>
Thanks again for any help...<br>

unmount the drive and use gparted to format the drive with ext3 filesystem. Or NTFS or what ever you want.<br>
<br>
In Linux you must unmount a drive to format it.<br><font color="#888888">
