Yes thank you Hank, my computer runs WindowsMe and I looked it up on =
here. I saw what you mean by the COMMAND file in Windows, also in there =
I found the file that says FORMAT. So now I can put that on her start-up =
floppy and I can than format the C drive.
I'm going to see her in one of the coming days and than I'll try it =
again.

Sylvia, before you mess the computer up, I got to jump in here. If you =
fdisk it will erase the drive but you will still have to format the =
drive, fdisk doesn't do that. Put the floppy in the a drive open windows =
explorer and click the =3D at windows then the command the highlight the =
format file, right click and hole it down then drag it to the A: drive =
when you lot go of the right button click Copy here. You will now have =
format on the floppy.
Sincerely Yours.
Hank

I think she's trying to format the C drive not a floppy, Rob.=20
Boot with the start up disk you have. Type fdisk after booting with =
your
startup disk. You can follow the directions for fdisk from there and =
format
whatever drive you want.
