I installed a new hard drive on my moms computer where can i get a copy of fdisk so i can format the hard dri?
would it be on her windows xp disk.
you have two options. They are as follows:-
1. As you use windows xp , right click ‘My Computer’ and select ‘manage’ from the menu. You will be taken to a window with three options with ‘+’ sign beside them . Click the ‘+’ sign beside ’storage’ option and select ‘disc management’ . (note: when you open up the window, you may find the ‘+’ signs already expanded for you). You can format your new hard drive , repartition it and transfer file systems of your choice.Follow on screen instructions for that . Just note one thing , if you want FAT 32 to be the system , you must keep the partitions less than 30 GB but no such restrictions for NTFS file systems. I think it will solve your need .
2 . The second option is to have a startup disc made from windows 98 . Ask one of your friends who still has windows98 on his computer and then go to the control panel–>double click add or remove program’ –> choose startup disc –> create disc. you will need a floppy disc to do that. Important part of this start disc is that , it contains one of the most important DOS utilities— the FDISC utility with which you can format your hard drive.
