Hi,
Due to virus attack, I want to format C drive (currently in NTFS format) and
reinstall windows xp. After I booted up the PC using the XP reinstallation
CD in the CD Rom drive, I chose the repair console to format the C drive.
The command I used was
D:\>format c: /fs:ntfs
It gave me a waring saying the data on drive C will be lost and asked me if
I want to proceed. I typed y for yes. It gave me D:\> right away.
But the contents in C drive is still there.
How can I format C drive? BTW I tried to delele a folder under C using
del, but it says Access is denied. Also I typed help but did not see fdisk.
Thanks a lot.
