Re-formating a Windows XP, NTFS partition. |

| message from =?Utf-8?B?S2FyaW0=?= on 8 Jun 2004 |
I had installed XP Home Edition a while ago on my pc. I now feel the need to re-format my drive and re-install XP on it. I am currently using NTFS on my pc. I tried re-installing XP but it does not allow me to format the drive prior to the installation. How can I get around that without finding a Win98 machine and using the fdisk.exe to fdisk my drive. Also, will using win98 fdisk, fdisk an NTFS partition? I don't think so.
Pls. help.

Do it again. You probably chose Repair Install , which only repairs XP and
does not reformat. You need to chose delete all partitions and do a fresh
install. Jym
