Hi everyone. Title kind of says it all. Cant do it from within windows, windows wont let me make a startup disk, windows help no help. Hope one of you can help.

you could boot into recovery mode and format from in there? or get yuorself a win98 boot disk (download one) and simply format it in dos that way perhaps?

I tried that but no joy unless i am doing somthing wrong. when i boot to a 98 startup disk it does not see the hard drive. and in recoverymode it says drive is active.

turn on your pc with your xp disc already in the drive
