Hi. i'm trying to reformat my drive. I did the FDISK thing and tryed to reformat but it just says bad cammand or file name.

format c: /s while your in the A promt is how your supposed to do it right? and yes i made the disk by going to add/remove programes, is there some thing else i have to put on the disk?


Thanks

Are you using the Windows start disk in "A"?

You need a "System disk" with format.com also on it to format the drive...assuming you already have the drive partitioned (that's what you use fdisk for). Since I dont know what you know about computers, to make a system disk you go to my computer/Format and use the system files only option......then copy format.com onto the floppy as well...that outta work to format the drive..

This article on Creating a Boot Disk (http://www.pcguide.com/proc/sw/boot.htm) may help also.

In Win95 or 98 you can go to Start\Settings\Control Panel and open Add/Remove Programs. Click the Start Up Disk tab put in a clean floppy and click the Create Disk button. That will make a start up disk that should have all the necessary utilities on it.
