Guest Dave Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Hi, I am attempting to create a new partition (sucessful) in Server 2003 disk management, but when I attempt to format the partition with NTFS (quick or full) it gets to the end and says "Format did not complete sucessfully".....I have a created several other partitions and formatted them no problem in the past.....Any ideas? FAT32 format works fine on the same partition. Dave MCSA Server 2003

I created from cmd prompt and formatted ntfs from command line and it succeeded (no errors)...However, the disk still shows no file format in disk management or when browsing with explorer and is unreadable. The error I get when I try to open is H: not available, insufficient resources exist to complete the requested service. Dave
Guest Dave Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Disk 'Format did not complete successfully' error A reboot resolved this. I already opened a trouble ticket with MS, will follow up to find out if they know why that happened.
