re: can't reformat the hard-drive Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 1:07 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by rob (3 messages posted) Thanks Adrian and DEX. DEX, the problem that I'm having is that once it comes to a point where I'm displayed all the partitions, neither the 'D' option nor the 'C' option are available. That's why I'm thinking that maybe there's some setting in my BIOS that prohibits me from formatting my hard-drive.
