Cant format c: Need some help....

[demented]

I boot to a startup disk, and go to format c and it gives me this error...

"Format not supported by C
Format terminated "

I tried copying the format.com file over to my c drive, but that didnt do anything. Any other ideas? I really need to get this done

make sure a partition has been created before you can format a drive. use FDISK

goto www.bootdisk.com get the windows 98 start up disk.. put it on a:\ floppy.. reboot .. type "fdisk" then option 3 to delete partition.. then option 4 to delete again.. then hit esc then option 1 to create the partition.. then restart keep the floppy in and you should be at a:\ then type format c: and hit y and your done
