Solve : erasing hard drive?

Answer»

How do I erase my hard drive & start over?  At the C:\>
PROMPT, I have typed "formatc: /s but all I get is bad command.  Do I have to UNDERLINE format?  If so how do I do that?You need to do a C:\>format /? to SEE the commands, but C:\>format c: will format the c: partition or c: drive. Do you have an installation disk to reinstall the system?Don't know what OS you are using or want to delete but it's most unusual to format C: while it is in use, like having the OS commit suicide.  More usual to use a bootdisk in A: and format C: from there or use a bootable cd then go on to reinstall the OS.Did you type it like you posted?

"formatc: /s "


If so, at the least you need a space between "format" and "c:".  That would explain the "bad command"
