My computer system has windows 2000 on it and I need to reformat my 8.4 mb hard drive how do i do th

Dont do it unless you either have the Restoration CD, or an operating system full verision CD.

Because once you format your hard drive, what are you going to put back onto it? kapische?

theres 2 ways to do it.

First, restart computer wiht restore cd in the drive, and that will prompt you if you want to restore to factory settings, da da da da dee, just follow the prompts that ask do you rreally want to reformat, if you proceed youll erase all info.

Otherwise, you will need to create a boot disk. Use your windows help, search 'create a boot disk'

All it is is put in a floppy and create one.

Then youll restart the computer with floppy in a drive, and youll come to DOS prompt.

Type FDISK at the prompt delete current partitions and create your new partitions

then format the partitions.

And load your O.S.

Pretty much that easy - just time consuming

why do you need to re-format?

formatting erases the disk, if you didn't know...

are you confusing defrag with format?

If you re-format you will need your OS disk to reinstall...so why reformat...

just put your OS disk in and run setup, that will reformat your disk during the install...why do it twice...

If your 8.4 is the secondary drive and not the system drive then open 'my computer' and right click the drive and choose 'format'.

The 'system' will not let you format the 'system drive' while the 'system' is running.

If you are confusing format with defrag and you are trying to improve the performance, right click the drive and choose 'properties' switch to 'tools' tab and click the 'defrag' button to open the tool.
