Cannot reformat c:

Hi,

I have managed to really get myself in a situation I have tried everything to fix.

I have the Acer Aspire Notebook 5672wmli and used Daricks Nuke and boot using the Ultimate bootdisk for Windows on my c: drive.

Ihave tried to reformat it using the UBCD and cannot reformat it and for some reason it starts and then says unable to format. I have tried to delete the partition and then refind it and format and that hasnt worked.

Additionally there is a hidden restore section on that drive that alt + f10 does not initiate it from the start bios screen.

Please Please Help me as i need this lap top to go to clients for presentations. thanks

Try formatting using a Windows XP CD, or a linux live CD like Ubuntu.
