Default Working with BING

Please delete all partitions. Then look in "View MBR" and click on "Standard
MBR". Then go back and create new partitions.

I'm concerned that a drive overlay may exist. I haven't been following the
previous mega-thread except in a very cursory manner. Are you certain that
no overlay exists (you'd probably use the drive manufacturer's own tools to
determine this and remove the overlay if present.)

I've never seen that ANP notation in BING and don't know what it means. In
my experience, MBR Entry ## is the usual label that's applied to all Primary
Partitions BING creates. You might want to check out BING Support,
especially the BING forums.

There is a paragraph on that page called "TeraByte Sponsored Newsgroups".

Sorry, editing

This post should read:
In my BING screen "Work with Partitions", I created 4 FAT32
partitions. They completely use the 10 GB hard drive, no free space.

The first 3 are listed in the screen with names including ANP, the
last one is MBR Entry 3. There is no indication the first partition is
active. Does BING do that automatically?

When I created the last partition, it went OK. When it completed
formatting and error checking, looked OK but now at the top of the
screen is the legend "errors exist". I looked in Properties in each
partition, no error notation.

Comment?
