hey guys im trying to format to install windows xp pro it gets to like 27 % and locks up the weird thing is i can format using red hat linux and install ths os perfectly, are there ne other tools to format besides FORMAT?
You can format during the install of XP. Insert the disk and when it gets to the part of where you want the xp to be installed choose C: it will prompt you to format the drve using fat or Ntfs if it is not already formatted. Cheers, Christopher
