    Ya, you can format it from Xp, but which is set to boot 1st? You may have to modify the boot loader again.

    ya ive been fiddlin around with boot priority, but its being a bit of a ballz, when i got it new (unformated...:confused:...) i stuck it inta the second sata slot, the temperature sensors in speedfan poped up n made sure i knew they were there, but i couldnt find it in my computer (it was hiding). so i threw it on primary boot n decided id give vista another spin (for the billionth time), already sick of it again. now with vista on the secondary (new) drive, and im in xp, it shows up....so ya....bollox to that then

    jus formatting using right-click in xp....taking aaaaaggggggeeeeesssss
