Answer» Hi,
My computer has a virus, and I can no longer use it.
I cannot format C drive from WINDOWS, and in DOS it says the volume is in use.
What COULD I do?
Thanks
PaulaHi Paula
You have to format from an external source. Windows will not let you format the disk that's in use - that's like asking it to commit suicide - Dos is on the same disk so that's in the same position.
Change your Bios to boot first from the cdrom - put your OS cd in the drive and reboot then follow the on-screen prompts
-OR-
Download a Win.98 bootdisk from Bootdisk.com - boot from it then at the A: PROMPT type R:\setup where R: is the cdrom letter.
BUT FIRST - have you TRIED going into Safe mode and running anti-virus progs from there? What virus do you have??
Anyway, what OS are you running, you give very little info!!
