Solve : formating disk?

Answer» HI. i´m trying to format my disk, so i entry

format c:

msdos then asks the current volume label on c: unit. please help because i have no idea what that eans. i realise this is a BEGINNERS question, but it´s been a long time since i´ve used msdos .
thanks!Try the command "label". Should show you the label.
(But I am not sure if MsDos has this command. I don´t use MsDos regularly anymore. Only Bootdisks.)

good luck
uliIs this some version of DOS or a WIndows command prompt? Are you booting from a floppy? If you are trying to format C drive, you must do so.Quote

It is the name of disk C: written by your hard drive .something like local disk etc.
You write down in command line just that name.
But probably you'll encounter problem while formatting C: from graphic interface. Try from boot.

That command is asking if you want to CREATE a volume label for that HDD...just hit Enter for "NONE"
