Formatting

[crazyagent]

When i try to format my computer (an old one) it says Drive C: is currrently in use by another process. How can i get it so that i can format it?

are you in windows when you are trying to format?

I'm betting he is.

 

[(cf)Eclipse]

make a windows 98 boot disk (there's some online, google for it)
reboot with the floppy in.
when you get into dos, type: format c:

just to make sure, you are aware that this will wipe everything from your hd right?

also, this is the memory forum, not the hard drive forum

When you boot from an os install disc most have formating / partitioning utilities.
