Mad Mike....Yes....your absolutely correct if your trying to format the drive from C drive ...you cant as was posted by Dusty..... Use your Win 98 boot disk or if you dont have one , go to
www.bootdisk.com and download one.
Make sure that the boot disk you D/l has the Fdisk function on it as well as the Format command. The disk will also have a few generic cd drivers and several small DOS files .
So after you have the bootdisk....open it up and at the A: prompt type Format C: followed by enter......
You will get a message saying that all data will be lost ....do you wish to continue ....answer yes and it will begin. Make sure that you have saved whatever you want before doing this ...for example your E mail address book and whatever else you want .
let us know how you make out
