Ok thanks. Thats what I was looking for. I couldnt remember how to find that. Now the problem is that I installed a 320gb drive. Its only letting me format about 81gb of it. It wont let me format the other 220gb. Its already like in two partitions. The 220gb is all greyed out when I try and do anthing with it. Anymore ideas?

Make sure you're formating it as NTFS. If the 81gb is still empty I would delete the partition and start over. If you don't want to do that then right click the unallocated space and choose New Partition then see if you can format it. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000

You could also use a floopy boot disck and run fdisk command.

Thanks for all the help guys. I dont think I was clear enough. I will try and start over. Ok, I have a laptop with two hardrives. I am running windows vista 64 bit version. Both the hard drives are 320gb Western Digital Scorpio Black hard drives. Now, when I open the computer management screen, it shows the hard drive having two partitions. It says either is unallocated. One is 81gb and the other is 218gb. I can format the 81gb into a hard drive to problem. Now the other 218gb partition wont let me do anything to it. When I right click it, all the options are greyed out. It also wont let me join the two partitions either. Do you think its bad? Anymore ideas?

Are you right clicking on the partition and selecting Delete Partition?
If you want to totally nuke the drive and start over, download this and build the boot CD:

Make SURE you don't nuke the main drive!
