having problems with win2kpro and want to reformat c: drive. All data files backed up and secured.

Problem is that we are unable to format c drive from ms dos prompt. error message says unable to perform operation "other program" is using c: "Volume".

Help please and suggestions as to the correct method.

go in your bios make sure your boot sequence is a / cdrom / hdd and your anti virus is disabled in the bios

boot your system up with your 2000 cd in your cdrom drive it should boot and start and install at some point you will have the option to partition and install

if you have a operating system on the ma chine just put your cd in your cdrom it will start to install it will prompt you to partition and format

you cant boot ntfs files with a 9x boot disk

if you still have problems you can dnload four 2000 boot disk from microsoft
