Windows 7 activation is expired but I want to format hard drive

[koolnani]

hello,

I am trying to format my hard drive that has win 7 starter kit loaded on it. I attempted to format through disk management and it says it cannot be formatted. I want to format from command prompt, but I do not know how to get to the prompt. Do I also need to download a boot disk as well? Please help!! thank you,

S. Reaves
