Format a blank floppy as a MS-DOS boot disk (it is an option in the format dialog). A:> prompt. Enter "Format c:" and follow the prompts.

So the bottom line is that i need to know how to get everything off my hard drive within tonite please and thanks in advance!

Hi ,i think you are confusd as to the use of window washer ,it is for to the best of my knowlage a tool to remove unwanted item from you harddrive, not format it .and you say you have nothing running to stop the format ,when you right clicked on C:\ ,you do have windows running don't you .!!
You can't format windows in this manner as windows is running ,this format features only workes on slave drives in the computer .floppy disk or usb thumb drives.also formating a harddrive will remove everything and you will need to reinstall windows .

Well ya thats what I need to do IS format the drive and reinstall windows so how do I do that. And the floppy disk thing is really confusing no offense
