Reformat!

I want to reformat my hard drive. Plain and simple. I've tried creating a startup disk and then booting into DOS but the boot disk doesn't have any format utility on it. So how do I format?
 
Boot from the XP CD... as it goes through setup it will ask you which partition you want to install it on, if you delete the partition and create a new one it will ask you how you want to format it, NTFS or FAT32..
 
Yeah, sorry to waste your time. I tried that right after I posted the message and it worked great. Now I have a clean install, since my version is an upgrade, but I did not need to install Windows 98 first!
 
I don't consider it a waste of time, maybe others withthe same problem will read this and get the help they need...

Glad to see you got it working.
:)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
