    Default formating hard drive

    Hi all,

    I hoped to reuse a old hard drive for storage.The drive contains a operating system windows98 older version.Windows wont let me format it, I remember in the old dos days there was a command line that override everything and zapped the drive.

    Any one know the command line c:\ ?

    I would guess you want to use C:\fdisk

    some details from microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255867
    The box said, "Requires Windows XP or better"...

    ... so I installed Ubuntu!
