Edward,
I did this tonight, but I'm still not sure why it worked. I started
getting "bad cluster" errors at about 80%. It wouldn't finish the
format, so I partitioned the drive (40%C - 60%D). After that, the format
on C: worked great and the format on D: saw the bad clusters, but
managed to finish formatting. Like I said, though, I'm still not sure
"why" it worked. Worth a try.
