You cannot format the drive containing the operating system when still using
that system. You can only do this from a DOS prompt after booting from a floppy. For details of how to fdisk and format see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 255867 - "How to Use the Fdisk Tool and the Format Tool to Partition or Repartition a Hard Disk" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=255867) as well as the file CLEANHD.TXT which is in the Win 9x folder on the Win Me CD. I am prompted however to ask why do you wish to do this? What problems are you having that make you feel the best solution is to clean install your operating system. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Pkent wrote: I was wondering how to reformat my hardrive with windows Me already installed? |
