Why after having followed all the
steps with FDISK to fomat my drive, deleting the DOS
partittion, creating
a new one , setting as active, reboting the computer and
trying to FORMAT C: I get a message saying : BAD COMMAND
OR FILE NAME?
Any help is appreciated!
 
You can format the drive using the boot program on that
drive. Unlike a cartoon, Windows won't allow you to cut the
tree limb off that your ladder is using.
Boot the XP CD and select install options and you'll be able
to format C:.

| Maybe because whatever media you are booting from doesn't
have "format" on
| it?
