Start here: Minimum information needed for assistance..

At the very least we are going to need to know what is trying to do the formatting, how you have configured your guest, ...

-Andy.
My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
