| 36895 | 2002-02-24 11:06:00 | Create a boot disk - in DOS this can be done by typing 'format a: /s' Next copy the format.com file to your disk - 'copy format.com a:' Boot your computer using the bootdisk. Once booted, type 'format c:' Make sure you are fully aware of the implications of formating a hard drive before you do so, setting it up is not a simple process first time around. |

Check this link for fdisk and boot disk(CD ROM support) instructions: www.compguystechweb.com |
