[Ham-Computers] UNFORMAT HARD DRIVE

Wed, 10 Dec 2003 17:50:56 +0000

   If you mess with the partitions you WILL "loose ALL info"
   If you unformat a drive you WILL "loose ALL info"

   "Info" is information you saved to the drive after
formatting it.

   If you want to complete an incomplete format,
format the drive.  Again!

   If you partly formatted a drive and then THEN saved info to it,
move the data to elsewhere, re-format the drive, then move the
data back.

  First you set the partition information, then you format it.
1. fdisk
2. format
