Kill Disk
« on: April 10, 2009, 12:44:43 PM »
Newbie here. So right away you know I have a problem. ;D I have Kill Disk hxxp://www.killdisk.com/
I have a HP Laptop that had Vista and was always giving me problems. It kept failing to connect to internet, or Printer etc etc so finally got miffed and decided to "upgrade to XP"  ;D
I used KillDisk to erase the drive. Loaded XP and it cannot find C Drive.
In fact is says it can't find any drive. I do not have a DOS disk, Kill Disk does not recognize partition or format commands.

So how do I get the hard drive formated? My days of DOS have long been forgotten  :P
I obviously need an MS-DOS bootable disk, went to Mr Sofite can't find a download that produces a MS DOS disk. All vista units do not allow you to format with MS-DOS like XP used too?
Any help would be appreciated.

google "download DOS" and you'll get several websites which allow you to download
the code to create a DOS bootable disk.
