Hi I have pulled a hard drive out if a virgin TiVo box and I do not know how to format it because it is using a fdisk partition which is not supported by windows and I want to know how I would be able to format it and it is only showing up as 0.050 KB on the drive
 
I am planning to use the drive for external storage and the drive is detected in the bios and it is detected in windows and now in disk manager it is saying disk not ready


you have to initialize it first. if it says its not ready right click on the disk bit first. The option to initialize will show up

(it doesn't on mine as my drive is working)

Sounds fooked to me m8

Its only showing 0.05 kb?

All i ever do is delete volume, create new partition, format and assign drive letter.

That's all I've needed to do too.

Don't tellybox HDDs have some sort of different firmware that does less error correction or something like that? I know I've used a few and got loads of "delayed write" errors under Windows.
