whistle Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I neet to replace a hard drive in a DS2, the one fitted is a 320gig. Today i attempted to format a 500gig hdd to fat 32 so it will work in the DS2. After about 2 hours formating windows said disk size to large for fat 32. Now i know 40gig is about the largest size you can format fat 32 but i found some info on google about using CMD prompt to format 500gig. Anyhow it did not work. any ideas???

camullins Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The good old DS2 dead harddrive! I bet it had maxstor's in it! I used Paragon Partion Manager to format the HDD's when I did them. PM me if you need any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
