There are multiple approaches available, the best choice depends on what your end goal is. It would be better if you stated that. Presummably you plan on doing something after you format your drive.

Hi! I seem to be having a problem that's probably like the one posted by Ivan, at least a lot of surfing has brought me here. I have a computer, that was upgraded to XP. Later I installed a full version - but the old installation wasn't removed in the process. I wasn't given the option to do so, and the drive had already been changed to NFTS. Since then, the machine has been unstable, and I believe, it could be due to old registry entries conflictning with the full version windows, I'm using now. Now, perhaps that's utter nonsence, I'm not an expert, I' just asking for help. The point is, I'd like to clean up the harddisk, remove everything and then reinstall the full version. But I havent been able to format the harddisk, neither from windows, from a bootdisk (naturally - the old DOS-format function cannot see the NFTS system...) og by trying to reinstall. The last option just gets me to the point where I'b being asked if I want to install XP alongside with an already existing installation. I don't. I checked the cleaninstall-link above, but it didn't adress this problem: How do I remove earlier installations of XP from an NFTS drive in preparation for a completely celan installation? OR: Wipe the partition and get it formated back to FAT32? I've been looking for a long time, and constantly arrive at dead ends. I'd really like some help if possible. Sincerely Asger

Please install Partition Magic 7 Pro or higher. Then run the Partition Magic and you will be able to see all the partitions and choose the NTFS partition, then click the Operations menu and then choose convert. Then from the Conversion Window, choose Fat 32 to convert the existing partion. You can do it from fdisk. But I don't remember. Moreover, if you don't have any important data, you are not at any risk. So, don't afraid to fdisk if you don't have partition magic compatible with Win XP. I hope, I have answered your questions. S.
