[QUOTE="dan828, post: 263817, member: 8468"] Brush up on your DOS skills! [url]http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/[/url] you can download an ISO image there and make a bootable DOS CD. Then just "fdisk" :) Ah....brings back memories, doesn't it? Or you could download the Windows Vista RC1 image and use that to format-- just start the install and format the HD, then just shut it down before it continues.
