    How to format my HD?

    I can't type format c: at the DOS prompt. It says "Incorrect DOS Version". It's a 486 66 DX computer I'm dealing with. I can't remove the primary partition in Fdisk because you have to enter the volume label and even though I enter the label EXACTLY as it shows, It says that the volume labels don't match! Any ideas? I want to set up a new Fat32 partition and do a clean install of Win 95.

    What boot disk are you using?

    Get a Windows 95 or a DOS 6 boot disk off of www.bootdisk.com...that should do the trick...
