Formatting my hdd?

[joerg]

Thanks but it is still a little un clear to me were do i get the boot disk and were can i find fdisk.

[madfish]

you can find one at www.bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com)
and fdisk will be on the bootdisk
1- insert bootdisk into drive A, boot up, choose a option { I always choose 1, with cd rom suport} type at the A prompt
A:\fdisk and then choose you options there. don't forget to format after you fdisk. if you need help with fdisking, just ask and someone here can walk you though this.

To completely start over you will need a Win9x boot disk. First run fdisk and setup any partitions you want...making sure to delete all the old ones first. Once you have fdisked you will have to reboot...leaving the boot disk in the floppy drive. Then once you get back to the a:\ type in format c: /s....then you will be ready to setup WinME...hope this is what you were looking for.
