I have been trying to format my hard drive but it doesn't seem to actually wipe every thing out. I have windows 98 as a base and win xp as a update. Would some one please take the time to walk me through this process. I have gone to several sites and Microsoft.com but still can seem to acheive the results i want I want to format the drive because i have gotten the sasser virus, and the computer keep hanging up on me, I have tried all sorts of fixes and nothing solves the problem. Any thoughts Pam bundy
