parker216 101 Report post Posted February 29, 2012 you could always pull the drive out and slave it into another pc, just open My Computer and right click the drive and select format. be sure to use NTFS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parker216 101 Report post Posted February 29, 2012 another thing I just thought about. get a copy of Hiren's Boot CD from the Apps section. you can boot from DOS right off the CD because it is already loaded on there. plus, you can partition and do many other things. I use use it A LOT and have done this very thing. You can get it here: http://www.cyberwarez.info/forum/topic/58552-hirens-boot-dvd-15-0-restored-edition-v-10/page__hl__%2Bhiren%26%2339%3Bs+%2Bboot__fromsearch__1 Hope this helps! Good Luck!!!
