Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / August 2004OT: reformat XP PC
Hi, I have a dumb question but just want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. We have an XP Pro machine that has some major issues. I am planning on just reformatting the drive and then reinstalling. When I boot to the XP CD, I don't see any option where I can reformat. I have a Win98 DOS boot disk that I could boot to and use the format utility (I also believe the Win2k boot disk has the format utility). I was suprised you couldn't do it with just the XP CD. Am I missing something? Thanks. If you boot from the XP CD and choose Install, you can delete the existing system partition, recreate it and use it to install. It will prompt you to format - I'd use NTFS. You've backed up your data first, right? > Hi, > I have a dumb question but just want to make sure I'm not [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks. |
