That won't work Sunday, March 16, 2003 at 10:23 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Paul D (2162 messages posted) You can't format C: using the format.com file in that location because the act of formatting C: will format the file you are using out of existence, thereby terminating the process before it's completed. You can only format C: from a bootable floppy or CD_ROM.
