I currently have ME installed on my computer. I am wanting to erase my hard drive and start over. When I type in format C: from the run prompt, I get a message that says to you wish to proceed with formatting. When I click yes, it say drive c in use cannot proceed. I simply want to erase my hard drive and re-intsall win 95. Can anyone help?

Make a start-up disk, from another computer. In Add and Remove Programs, then copy these files to the same floppy. Fdisk.exe Format.exe Boot to the floppy disk At DOS prompt: FDISK choose to view partition information delete all partitions, exit FDISK, reboot PC. Boot back into DOS, at prompt: FDISK/MBR 3x Create one partition 100% in size At DOS prompt: FORMAT C: /U ***Always reboot to the floppy disk**** ***Always use Shift-F5 to get an A: prompt*** then use CDrom support. Reinstall your OS! (Drive Letter):setup
