Hi, I recently asked this guy for help, he told my to change my HD to NTFS I did.
Now I really hate XP for other reasons beynd that...so...I went to install Windows ME again, and it said I cant because the HD is NTFS, can someone tell me how to put my HD back to FAT32, so I can format it and install me again ? PLZ! this is urgent!

Hi,
Run FDISK on your Windows ME startup diskette to partition your hard drive. It will report the NTFS partition(s) as "unknown". Delete them. Set up the new partitions, format and install Windows ME.
Good Luck
