Wiping C: Drive / Reinstalling Windows?
It has been suggested that I wipe (format)the C: Drive and reinstall windows, my question is if I format the hard drive and restart the computer using the start floppy will the CD drive work allowing me to reinstall windows? Bill |

Wiping C: Drive / Reinstalling Windows?
Yes - providing you have the correct floppy!
either create one from Add/Remove Programs|Startup disk, or download the diskmaker from www.bootdisk.com (get the OEM one for ME) and use that to create the disk - then test it BEFORE formatting the drive. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "bill rigsby" wrote in message ...
