LurkerHere Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 hey all.. how do you format in DOS? like to format the drive in NTFS ? cause the setup does not format the drive, just converts it from Fat32 to NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted May 31, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 31, 2003 fdisk doesn't format... :laugh: from dos, you can't format a drive with NTFS. you have to be running some version of NT. a command prompt is NOT dos ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted May 31, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 31, 2003 it formats mine... so you not checking your options.. since you gonna format then choose to DELETE the partition then just install it on the blank one you just created.. next screen will ask FAT32 or NTFS (long or short) and just choose there :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
