Hi,
In an attempt to preform a clean install of windows xp, i attempted to format my fujitsu 8gig HD using the XP CD in dos. However, mid format DOS froze....in addition, if i tried to repair an install using DOS, the computer would freeze...what would cause this...i thought Dos was supposed to be "dependable operating system"......is this a sign of HD failure (my hd has 4kb bad sector)......I finally got the drive to reformat by using a fan to blow on the hard drive.
