Topic: fresh formating hard drives

I was just wondering how I would go about fresh formatting a hard drive.

Hi dorian

You'll have to give us a little more to work on For starters: what operating system are you using?

Hi and

Also let us know why you are doing it - there may be an easier and less drastic way to solve your problem!

Well
I have recently become addicted to the game Morrowind and I am also moving out. Therefore I am left with a problem, I really want to playt the game but I no longer have access to my parent computer, nor doI have enough money to buy a new computer. Thus I concluded that I should "refervish" one of the network computers which my parents recently brought from their office, (they uprgraded). These computers have windows 98 on them and also have numerous networking and law programs that will be of no use to me. so I figured that if I just wiped the system clean and starteed new I would have less problems. can you help

Hi Dorian,we had a longish thread discussing FDISK and its uses here :

There are a couple of links in that thread that will explain fully how to go about it and how to partition your drive if you require it instead of just doing a FORMAT C:  :doggie:
