To be honest, I'd really like to know too. Anyone who knows, please say. I've mostly used 98, and have had very little contact with XP and 2000...

Right-click the drive you want to format, and "Format" will appear.

For example: to format drive D, right-click the D drive letter as shown here
Click "Format" and choose the file system format, either NTFS or FAT32, as shown here
Click "Start" to complete formatting drive D
Note: you must exit all programs currently running on drive D
Good luck!!!

If you want to format drive C, you can boot into DOS to format it, or boot from the CD and enter XP repair mode.

If drive C is FAT32, then you can boot into DOS to format C, but if it's NTFS then it won't work. Oh right! You can use PQ software! My level is limited, that's all I can say.

Use a Win98 disc! Boot into DOS, then format it. Of course, what post #11 said is right: it only works if it's FAT32. Otherwise you can only use PQ to format it. Under XP there's no way to format drive C. I've tried it N times.
