    Formatting drives

    I have one physical drive which is partitioned into 2 sections, C:\ and D:\. If I format D:\, will it do the whole drive or just the partition?

    The partition.

    That's what's supposed to happen, although I haven't seen half my files for a while

    I think it will just partition D:\

    Here is my story:

    I have two partitions - windows xp on 1 and windows 98 on 2nd partition -

    I tried to install sympatico high speed access manager on windows xp to access to the internet but it was not supported so it just corrupted the access manager on the other partition (windows 98).

    I dont know how windows xp was able to access and corrupt the access manager on other partition!
    Baaaaaaaaah

    It probably searched for some files, and found them on the other partition, then ****ed with them.....

    I've not had much trouble with partitions.... Ummmm... except that time I messed up my partition table..... I fixed that though.....

    I want to have internet access or windows xp but my ISP does not support that OS. And their software is compatible with my ethernet card on windows xp.

    I dont know what to do here.
