Rita,
This item was in a recent Win Insider 11-17-2000. You may have seen
it!...and it may be of interest to others concerned with this at the moment
Ewan.
I've been looking around for a while for a Web site that takes
people step-by-step through the process of repartitioning and
formatting their hard drives. Weendoggy's "How to Fdisk and
Format a Hard Drive" is it:
http://members.aol.com/weendoggy/#fdisk
I want to remind people of a few things:
1. Repartitioning a hard drive using Fdisk kills forever all the
data on that drive.
2. You don't absolutely have to repartition and reformat to do a
clean install of Windows.
3. Read and understand before you do.
A secondary link worth noting this week is Winmag.com's new
Essential Guide to Dual Booting Windows, written by Serdar
Yegulalp:
