easy on 9x systems, using a boot disk, go into DOS and type format C:\ where C:\ is your hard drive

not really sure with XP...I've usually used Partition Magic when I have an NTFS drive...

With XP, you can do it during setup.

Or you can do it the same way as if the OS were win 98
with a win 98 bootdisk.
