how in the world do i format my drive in win xp home sp1?
i cant even get to dos mode?? i installed xp on my really
old laptop and it runs even slower now, im wanting to go
back to win 98 sec ed, but i formated my drive before i
installed xp, what do i do, please healp thanx!!
 
U need to use the Windows Xp setup cd boot into the setpu,
and from there u can delete/format paritions. just dont
continue with the install. u can also goto "My Computer"
right click on your floppy drive goto format and
check "Make MSDOS start up Disk". then u can boot into
DOS, although u cant do anything about NTFS paritions in
DOS, this will only work if have FAT32 Paritions
