| Formatting my system disk
Ok, I finaly decided my system disk needs a reformat. I restart in command prompt mode, type format c:, and it says files are in use, won't let me reformat. I use the Windows XP setup disc, which has a formatting utility on it, and it says it can't find any disks. So I make a boot CD (removed my floppy for random reason a while ago), reboot, it loads up, type format c:... and it says there is no such disk.
A few weird things that might be related... In BIOS is basically says I have no primary master and slave disks. Auto-detect does nothing, manual won't even let me set it up. Also, in the properties for my disks is has them both as SCSI disk drives... which is wrong, the system drive is IDE, and the storage drive SATA. This is pretty recent, I remember them being labelled correctly a few months ago or whatever the last time I happened to look at disk properties.
Any ideas? |
