Default Help! Cannot format C. Boot from bootdisk. A:\Format c: bad command

Have you sat at an XP-machine? That could split you in two!

Put the Startup Diskette in, & turn on the computer, to boot it. But, if it's already on, just Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
