I thought the only way to format a HD was to go into MS-DOS and type the 'fdisk' command. Heh, well thats how I've always done it Razz

Fdisk is actually for partitioning the hard drive, you nead to use format to format the drive.

In fact I don't think Windows XP even has an fdisk program. You have to use the MMC disk manager pluggin.

On XP it's format, but lets look at windows 3.11... (An odd thing about windows 95-ME is that the 'help' command doesn't work, yet when I turn on my Toshiba, exit windows, and type 'help' (well, help|more) it displays a list of commands Confused

.)

Anyway, done booting
FDisk - Configures a HD for use with MS-Dos
Format - formats a hard drive for use with MS-Dos

Well, Fdisk is for deleting partitions. Oh yeah, I did use Fdisk once... I had a (EDIT:) Hitachi notebook vision plus with a ton of crap on it. The drive on it was partitioned, one part with linux, and one with Windows 95. I remember, I had to delete the linux partition. Heh.

Well, you win.
