Ahhhh help hard drive mess up problem

[GroundZero3]

i was in uninstaller and i was deleteing files when i relaized that they were the files that weren't accessed for 180 days. I couldn't get them back so im trying to reformat my hard drive but when i try it says insuffient memory.
I have a 10g hard drive 64mb ram celeron 400mhz
Also is there any way to fix bad clusters on a hard drive? I did scandisk it looks like all scandisk does is find the bad clusters
Any clues?
Thanxs

Did you boot from a boot disk and type in the format command? How are you trying to format?

Floppy boot is the proper way. But your real problem is going to be the bad clusters. Once a drive starts growing bad sectors, there's no stopping it. Your best bet is to buy a new drive before you spend alot of time reloading the one with bad sectors. This is all advice from my HD guru at Quantum. Hope I've helped you.

Try the drive mfg's pseudo low level format utility.
