i feel like a dumbass right now
what [I]was[/I] the problem
seriously I hate it when people do this, there's nothing more annoying than searching for a solution and finding the entire post edited and replaced with "thx guise found it out"
also I'm assuming "I feel like a dumbass right now" means you solved it and it was something simple
Is power connected to the drive?
Why won't it let you format the drive?

You must have replied right after he edited it away.
Hard drive could be DOA. Try another hard drive if you have one.
Also, how many cables did you plug into the hard drive?
OP, from what i understand you changed it so you would not get banned for wrong section.. Just post and ask for it to be changed.
well if its in the wrong place can someone change.
anyway i have the sata cable and power to the hard drive. It might be a faulty drive
Have you checked the BIOS to see if the drive is being detected at all?
Ha, I remember that build. Do what Roast suggested.
make sure the bios detects it and re seat the cables
yes bios is detecting it. thats why im all wierded out
