Try going into the Recovery Console and using diskpart to delete the partition.

Can you try putting the Hard Disk and the DVD Drive on separate IDE Channels?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Double Post:
OK I give up.

My last hope was to connect up both HDs, boot up with the normal one with Windows XP, and then see if I can access the one that isn't working via My Computer or something, but it appears XP needs to be installed on both to boot up properly, am I correct? It just told me it can't find an operating system during boot up when I connect both of them.

I'm going to buy a new hard drive, thankfully they arn't too expensive these days.

If you have XP Installed on one of the hard drives it should boot, make sure the HD with XP installed onto it is set as the master drive, and make sure the bios is set to boot from this drive

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Can I officially say my HD is dead?

Also, I left the hard drive formatting over night. The progress bar moved, but when I woke up it said it cannot be formatted, and had failed. The problem is partitioning, I can delete a partition, but it will still show up, without a drive letter however, and then when I try and delete that partition it will tell me the drive failed or has disconnected. It does tell me in disk manager however the disk is fine and is healthy, although without a file system (because I can't format)

Sounds like it's dead to me, and even if you do get it working I wouldn't trust it to work for long =/

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
