| I am trying to reformat a hard drive of a dell 4300 w/ WIN ME but the format c: doesn't work. Any ideas? The error message I get is "invalid drive specification" and it reverts back to the a: prompt. I am using a 3.5 boot disk that I created on the machine. Also, as background, when I boot up the machine normally, windows does does work but with very limited functionality I can run windows functions but not any programs) so perhaps the hard drive is mostly fried and maybe that affects my ability to re-format?? I don't know. Thanks for all your help. |
