Formatting
Closed
Hello,
I have as a second pc a dell dimension 8100. My hardrive is a Seagate ST320413a 20Gb. I am attemptingto completely format this (I think it is refered to as logical format...may me wrong) and use a secondry drive. The problem occurs when I try to format using 'My computer' right click format. I then re-installed windows xp which was fine, however files and program files still remained on the c drive. Please help in advising how to completey format the drive (NTFS) ..... could it be an issue with hidden partitions?
Please help.

hello buddy,
have you tried formatting the pc using windows cd?
this is quite a strange problem that you have but nevertheless if you are trying to format the drive where windows is installed then it wont let you do that.
