Merry Christmas to you all,
Got a nice new had drive from Mr. Clause, however I only have one SATA power connector. I don't know if the new drive is formatted, and I don't know if the drive is new or second hand.
If I could format the drive from within the Windows 7 setup menu, I could leave the XP HDD without any power and just plug the power into the 7-to-be drive, which would save me the effort of going out on boxing and buying the IDE-SATA power adapter.
So can I format the drive within setup?
