Sounds like something's corrupted. Run a scan disk and see what bad sectors it finds and let it fix them if possible.

Try booting to the command prompt, or from floppy or cd before running format

Create a bootable CD-rom and put fdisk on it. Boot from your cd rom and run FDisk in dos.

if yes, you have to boot into dos and do it from there

You can't format your C drive if you're running a command prompt from windows

If it's winxp then there is no more DOS. those days are gone.
You gotta get winxp cd. Insert it into cd rom and restart. If it does not promt you to boot from cd, then you need to get into bios and make your cd rom a priority bootable device. then restart again, finally boot from cd. on the cd go to "command prompt" section. Now you can run format commands and such... If you want to just have a clean reinstall of windows, then you can go into installation mode right away, and it will offer you to format your drive before installing windows. Good luck. |
