    Formatting help!

     
    So.. I just formatted a lightly used 250GB Western Digital Caviar SATA HDD. I used the Windows disk manager, deleted the partitions, formatted with NTFS, and created a new NTFS primary partition.

    But when I right-click on its properties in My Computer, the pie charts say 0 bytes. And when I try to access it it says:

    "F:/ is inaccessible.
    The parameter is incorrect."

    .. Did I do anything wrong? How can I make this new drive usable?
