Thanks in advance, Damian Go to Administrative Tools, select Storage and Disk Management You'll be able to see all your hard drives and their partitions. Select the partition you want to format, right click and choose format. |

Thanks in advance, Damian Why do you want to do something you don't know anything about? A format will give you a computer you can't use; there is NO DATA or programs left. If that's what you want, go for it. However, I think you are mistaken. The other poster told you what to do. Doug |

Thanks in advance, Damian This is a good tutorial: http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html The procedure is very similar for older Microsoft operating systems. If you decide to format your hard drive, make certain to backup any important data first. -- Winerr 012 - Cash Underflow - Credit Card Number Will Be Assimilated |
