Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I was wondering if some1 could tell me how to format my hard drive. Cheers in advance J
If your installing a new OS on an empty drive it will give you option to do so,if you've got the drive as a secondary or slave as it's normally called you either use "computer management" or a 3rd party partitioning software either by installing the software or booting directly from the install cd & use it as a live cd, partitioning software that's free as in no money:- install or live cd:limited to FAT,FAT32 & NTFS http://www.partition-tool.com/ live cd onlyoes all types of formats http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
When you install XP, it will present you with the opportunity to delete your current partition and then re-allocate a new one. Once you allocate a new one, the XP installer will then give you the opportunity to format it. Dick
Was my first post unclear? then xp will give the option you seek & you can reformat from it's install disk or whatever it is your using,so plce media in drive & reboot unless your quick enough place it there while it's booting follow on screen prompts
