    Formatting causes you to loose all data on your computers hard disk drive

    Check out www.bootdisk.com and find the Windows 2000 boot disk.

    Put it onto a floppy, and then start the boot disk, and type:

    format C: /s /q
    for a quick format (just deletes the data)

    format C: /s
    does a complete format (Recommended)

    You will need the Windows 2000 disk to reinstall Windows though, there is no way around this.
