Default Help! Cannot format C. Boot from bootdisk. A:\Format c: bad command
You do not have a proper bootdisk there, probably only the lame one produced by
Windows 95/98/ME during software installation.

Go to www.bootdisk.com and download the software to create the boot disk of your
choice. Make the disk, then boot with it and try to format again... Ben Myers
