XP does it from administrative tools, and the easiest route to that from "My COmputer" has already been described. This method is *so* much better than the old command line tools, as it would be very hard indeed to format the wrong disk (8-)# Laurence Reeves wrote a great scam program, for DOS (when that was *real* and not emulated).
