Formatting Hard drive with Windows ME

by vollie6 . Updated 23 years, 8 months ago

I have a COMPAQ presario that is continually locking up and refuses to work with my modem. I want to format the hard drive and reinstall my OS, however, I can’t get to MSDOS. If I go Start, Programs, MSDOS it says C:\WINDOWS. I try to change it to just “C” but it won’t work. I’ve tried typing “format c:” and it tells me it can’t do it cause Windows is in use.

Any ideas?
