Further information re this reluctant hard disk,looking at the contents from the command line it shows a COMMAND COM file dated 1999? How does one go about deleting this using the command line,long time since I dabbled in Dos.
The disk is from a HP Pavilion machine and it had a section of the hard disk labeled RESCUE? I assumed this would disappear along with the rest of the stuff on said HD when I formated it.
Puzzled of Gateshead.
