I can patition the drive to make unallocated space but everytime I try to format the drive or just make it active so windows sees the drive and for me to use, it gives that warning that I posted up, I press OK, it trys to do it for a few seconds then gives the error access denied, my Vista Acronis backup stuff is also installed on the same drive, so do you think that could be causing this problem?

Thanks for that free software thingy, downloading now.
