I need to do a coplete format of my C Drive. I was told I need to "turn off" my Master Boot Drive. Could anyone tell me how to do both; format and turn off.

You need to insert your bootdisk in floppy drive and re-boot the pc with CD support. When you get up, do FDISK to make sure you have the proper partitions. If you do, then FORMAT C: and answer all the questions. When that is finished, install your OS.

I've formated a few drives and never heard that statement before.If I may ask why do you need to format??you do probably know that this operation will wipe your drive clean of the O.S. and all programs,drivers saved files ETC.To format insert a WinMe Emergency Boot Disk in the floppy and re-start or power on.when asked choose WITH CD/ROM SUPPORT,,when you get to the A:\ prompt type in Format C:\ and answer the prompts.
