Check your boot disk to make sure it had the FORMAT program on it. To make
sure you have all the files you need on it, you might want to prepare a boot
disk by using the Win95 boot disk available for download from freepctech.

-----Original Message-----
I have about a 5 year old computer that I'm trying to re-format the C drive
on.  I'm using Windows95. When I tried to format, the system was off, and I
turned in back on with a boot disk in.  I tried the steps offered on the
site but unfortunately when I typed, "format c: /s" I got an error message.
This was done from a A prompt. The message I received was "bad command or
invalid name."   I would appreciate any suggestions others might have to
solving this problem.
