Hello all,
I'm working on a laptop for a friend right now, and his hard drive has a
bad spot close to the beginning of the drive. The drive FDisk's ok, but I
can't format it.
I partitioned it into a 50 MB C: drive, and a 1 GB D: drive, tried
installing Windows 95 on D: , but Windows stalls during the install process
because of problems on the first partition.
Is there any way I can format the drive, and have it continue on past this
error?, or get windows to ignore the first partition? Yes, I realise the
drive is dying, and that he should replace the drive, but in the mean
time, I'm looking for a fast fix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Wayne Rowlinson
