Also check that any special drivers that may be necessary have been installed correctly. Installing Hard Disk Drives - It is recommended that a Xi-bit, AT-type hard disk controller be used in the Equity 320s~ PLUS if you are installing a drive that cannot use the internal hard disk controller. Also remember to disable the onboard hard diik controller when installing such a drive. - If you are having difficulty in formatting the hard disk drive, try starting over with the Format option in diagnostics.
