I have an HP computer running WinXP2 with a 120GB HD.

I used Western Digital's Data Lifeguard program to ready a 80GB HD for
backup.  After doing so it can't be read and needs to be formatted.
Windows is unable to format it.

I went into Dos to format it and it said the drive was raw and to use the
/fs switch to specify the file system.  I don't know what to do.

Thanks.
