Whereas it was easy to reformat a disk with Win98 fat 32, I cannot come
up with a clue to reformat WinXP Pro?
It seems that the NTFS file system, will do everything it can to protect
itself? i.e. Booting up using a dos disc with format on it won't go and
going to the windows dos prompt and asking format c: same answer.
One has said to boot up with the XP install disk, but although this is
the procedure to format a new H/D, all that happens with XP installed, is
that it will ask whether to update or install a new copy!
Please help de Dave
