help with formating my HD

Ok when i go to do a format this is what i do....

a:/format: c

and i get this

Required parameter missing

 

The syntax should just be "format c:" - no quotes.

 

now i get parameter format not correct - C

 

Did you enter C: or just C

Also, if the hard drive was previously formatted as a NTFS partition, you will need to delete it and recreate it again before you can format a C: drive.
