Add New Disc Wizard requiring reboot BEFORE completion. HELP
Hi there.
I'm pulling my hair out with frustration, please someone help me.
I purchased true image home and simply wanted to format my seagate external hard drive to fat32 format.
All goes well until I click on 'Proceed'
The process starts calculating then up pops a warning
Reboot is required.
"A reboot is required to complete the operation. Note that the operation will be cancelled if you choose not to reboot now."
Being the n00b that I am, I confusingly rebooted. Upon reboot nothing happened. Surprise Surprise.
So I start the process up again and let it sit for a while "calculating" while not touching the reboot window.
I waited for ages and nothing happened, looked in my taskbar and the process is still 0%
Please help me. I am hopeless with this stuff, hense why I bought a proper program as I was having so much trouble with freeware and it still doesn't work.
thanks.

Hi there
I am not using windows manage disk management because I need the a partition greater than 32gb hence why I purchased the acronis software because it can format the entire hdd in fat32.
Yes I understand, but I need fat32 as I'm using the drive to backup my ps3 before replacing the ps3's old hdd with a new one. Fat32 format is the only format that ps3 recognizes sigh :(

You can use other free tools on the web to format a big disk in fat32. The benefit of this is that you can target a specific partition on an existing disk.
If you really want to use ATI, be aware this process will delete everything on the target disk. Use the recovery CD to add a new disk, then use some other partitioning tool to create partitions on the *new* disk.
