    Question Need Help: Need To Format Hd [RESOLVED]

    I need to format my hard disk. OS of the machine to be formatted is WINXP Professional.

    Done so far:
    1. Created Startup Disk from win98 machine.
    2. Reboot my machine using the startup disk.
    3. Type Format c: from the command prompt but got a 'Bad Command or Invalid Filename' error message.

    Can anyone please help me on this.

    Thanks

    Some get a bootdisk WITH format on it. www.bootdisk.com should do the trick. Or try booting from the OS cd, and then format the drive
