gdodson Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 It's not the drive running Windows is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadBoat89 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 are you trying to format C: drive? cuz if you are... you cant. you gotta use a windows xp disc, to delete your partition, then format your hd...this must be done with windows not loaded... you cannot format something using an operating system and having the same OS running on the same drive.

chmsant Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Because it takes the letter "C" windows will fight it. Get a DOS boot disk from someplace or use UBCD to format the drive/partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
