Hi, I would appreciate some advice on this. The operating system
(Win XP) in my Dell PC got corrupted and I lost internat connecton,
Dell advised me to reformat and reinstall the XP to fix this.
However, I have problems reformating my hard drive.
I have tried the following and failed:
1. Attempted to use the format function in "My Computer", says some
applications in use.
2. Cannot create a floppy bootdisk from which to boot into.... My
PC does not have a floppy drive
3. Tried booting from my Dell resource CD disk into DOS prompt, and
tried "format C:"..... but the DOD system message told me that this
fucntion is not supported.
4. Tried booting from my Dell Windows XP installation CD. It does
not give me the option to reformat my harddrive, nor does it allow
me t boot to DOS prompt. It only offers me 2 options; to repair the
current installation and to reinstall over the existing operating
system. I tried both options and it does noyt solve my system
corruption problem.
Can any computer gurus please help? Thanks a million!
