Thanks for responding!

It is an internal drive. I have one 20g which is the C:, a 40g which is the D: and E: drive. XP is on the C: drive. I was doing something in Wordperfect and when I tried to bring up a file I couldn't and when I clicked on the D: drive in my computer it said I needed to format the D:. I posted to the mentors on V.D. and after many suggestions nothing worked so I decided to go ahead and format it. That's when the messages came up saying it could not be formatted.
