Reformat Hard Drive
November 1st, 2005 by Peter
Choose the maximum space if you want just one partition, less if you want to make another one later.
Choose a drive letter, or accept the default that the computer will give you.
Choose the file system. Windows needs NTFS, but you could also use FAT32. I would just go for NTFS, unless you have a reason for need a FAT32 drive, like maybe if you share data with a Linux installation on the computer.
Review the details.
Wait for a while as the computer goes through the process of formatting. (Could be a very long time on big drives)
Wait for it to finish, then all is done.
If you have just formatted your Windows drive you will need to reformat and reinstall Windows.
