Hello all,

I'm currently running Windows 2000, but I'm wanting to reformat my drives and install a fresh version of Windows XP.  I made a boot disk with a floppy; I get to the A:\ prompt and I'll type in "format C: /s" but the command will go ahead and format my D: drive instead!  It doesn't recognize that the C: drive is there at all.  I'm booting the machine from the floppy, so I 'shouldn't' be using the C: drive at all.  It's only recognizing one drive, but it's definitely not reformating the correct hard drive!!

How can I reformat my C: drive?

Cheers, Brent
