If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be attempting this.  The command is FORMAT d: where d: is the drive you wish to format.  You can also run DISKFIX ... please, there is no recovery from this at all.\n\nIf you're getting rid of an old computer ... that's a different story.  We should probably have this conversation off-line ... my contact info is in my profile ... IM me and we'll figure out the best way to accomplish what you want to do.

If you want to whip it out clean(your entire hard drive), then reboot your system with the windows boot disk and type "format c:" this will whipe out all data from the drive.\n\nif you need to preserve your data then you may have to do it manualy with the with the deltree command from the dos prompt. You will also have to reboot using the win98 boot disk because you will get an error saying someting like "Can't  remove directory, X file,already in use by windows"\n\nalso please make sure you copy deltree.exe onto you bootup\nfloppy. I beleive that the windows boot disk does not set the path to the windows directory, so doing a deltree from the prompt will not work with out the deltree.exe program on your floppy.\n\nThe command from your A:prompt should look like this\n\nA:>deltree c:&#92;windows\n\ndeltree c:&#92;windows, is the actual syntax to type at the prompt.\n\nyou can then from there use anny method you choose to delete any windows swap files.\n\nNotes:\n\nuse the dir command to see any hidden files left over by windows\n\nFirst use dir/? to get the correct syntax. dir will let you see the hidden files and the attrib command will let you change the attributes of a file from hidden to archive so that yo may delete any hidden windows files on your hard drive.(attrib/? for syntax)\n\nif you need more info,E-mail me, Thanks for the question!\n\nThe first answer is wrong. Do not do a low level format. A low level format is done at the manufacture NOT the user.
