78262 2002-09-10 09:26:00 Ok. Running XP, 3 hard drives (partitons), all NTFS. E:\ is 8 GB's and I want to reformate it, how do I do it and will it affect C: or D: (C:\ with the OS {XP Pro} on it). JamesStewart (874)
78263 2002-09-10 09:31:00 Right click on the appropriate Partition, from the drop down select format.

You wont do anything to anything on any of the other partitions

78264 2002-09-10 09:33:00 P.S. the only real choice will be if you want to format to FAT32 or NFTS Fat32 will be backwards compatable if any other OS on the PC wants to have a look. flying_green_leprachaun (1767)
78265 2002-09-10 21:03:00 I know who you are - and don't you dare re-format it. I have told you that you not to do that and if you do, you will be banned from the computer. You have been warned. Basil Pesto (541)
78266 2002-09-10 21:33:00 Basil Pesto-What a name!?!? but to that anonymous person, the E:\ was extermly slow meaing backing up the files I needed and formating it would fix the problem (and it has been done).

P.S: Please do not try and patronise me. :)
