remove 95 windows
ok.
removing windows 95. format the drive. how do i get to the dos prompt? it comes up ms-dos ...is that the same thing? when i try to format the computer tells me i can not format the compressed drive c and to do it through the drivespace tool. However the drivespace tool says it cannot format it because it is compressed. can not uncompress this drive either. whats up with this stuff? i have an oem version of 98 windowsSE that will not write over 95. it says i need the upgrade version to do so. no one sells the upgrade version so lets purge 95 off my machine.... remember i am clueless thanks |

If there is nothing you need on the drive, email me (you can find my address
at my web site--see signature) and I will send you a small tool that will wipe your drive clean. You can then run fdisk and create a new partition or partitions and then format it/them.
