But you can't delete c: from c:.
You will need to do it from a boot disk.

[zer0h]

Agh, somebody told me that there was a way to erase the entire C drive.

[Fed]

There is, but you can't do it from c: just as you can't pull yourself up by your shoelaces.

[zer0h]

how??

[uli_glueck]

Boot from a Dos Bootdisk:

type fdisk /mbr
type fdisk erase partition c:
create a new partition c:
format this partition with format

then c: is deleted and a new partition c is created.
FAT 16.

Get a firm grip on your shoelaces, jump in the air & pull up hard.

Ok, DEL command to erase all neccesary system files?  :-?

[Fed]

Tell us what you are trying to do?
A re-install?
Disposing of the HD?

[zer0h]

lol
>_>
<_<
hard to explain,

Keep my regular files and stuff, but delete Windows... possible?

Is anything like that possible?

The thing someone told me to type was del C * :** blah blah C's Del's, and astrix's.... Idk... I forgot it...

<noob, sorry.

Then you would first have to save the things you want to keep then it's an easy task to do a fresh install of windows.
