Don't know if this is the right section.. so apologies if it is.
Anyway I just wondered if there was anyway you could format the computers primary drive (which is usually C) without the master disk (the disk supplied by the company)?
I know you can take the drive out and make it into a SLAVE drive then format it that way, I just wondered if there was an easier way?
+rep for good answers
My computer > Right click C: > Format
?
C is usually Windows so be careful
Using C: to run WindowsQuote:

Surely if you have any windows installation disk you can use that on any computer?
Infact, you can just format the drive when you boot from the XP/Vista disk...
Just one more question :PQuote:
