Having had various problems with my machine and then a virus which got past my (updated) Norton Antivirus
I have decided to format the hard disk on my Windows XP machine. I used an old Windows 98 floppy to boot to an 'A:' dos prompt but when I type 'format c:' I get a reply saying 'cannot format network drive'. Under the networking options I have tried pressing 'disconnect network drive' but the reply is 'you are not connected to any network drives'. My machine (P4 2 gig, XP, 256 SDRAM, 40 gigHD) has a network card built into the motherboard but I have no cable attached and do not use networking.
Mayday!
