PCBUILD Digest - 14 Jan 2001 to 15 Jan 2001 (#2001-16)       " The problem
is that whenever I
        do format C:/s I get this message<format not supported on C>. Well I
was
        wondering what does that mean and is there any way of fixing that so
I can
        format. Thanks, David"
It sounds like you're using the WIN ME startup disk.Since Windows ME boots
directly to Windows (no longer to MS-DOS first), the /s command for copying
the system files has been eliminated. Just leave off the /s and it'll format
fine.
If you're trying to install WIN 98, you'll either have to get a WIN 98
startup disk or find a floppy containing the system files and do a manual
DOS copy.
        Good Luck,
