The simplest answer is to boot - using the WinMe (floppy) Startup disk -
and
at the A:\ prompt, type " format c: " (no quotes and notice the colon
after the letter c)
That should format the C: drive.
However, if you want a more detailed instructions, a couple of very
useful
documents are on your WinMe CD (and probably on your C: drive too) called
setup.txt file and cleanhd.txt which are well worth reading. You should
also
and print out and have handy a copy of the cleanhd.txt file - a copy of
which you can also see here :-
"Windows Millennium Edition Cleanhd.txt File Contents"

Also, be sure that you've still got a copy of the 25 digit product key,
before you start and any 'machine specific' drivers (often on a separate
CD)
which *may* have come with your PC. (Don't worry too much if you haven't
any
drivers as there's usually some work-around available)

Can anyone please tell me how to reformat the hard drive on my son's
computer? It's an old HP with ME. He has the reinstall CD but I can't
remember how to reformat.
