can't reformat the hard-drive Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 9:39 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by rob (3 messages posted) I have an HP Pavilion. I'm trying to install a fresh copy of W2K and I want to erase whatever there is on the hard-drive. But, during the installation, I cannot format my hard-drive. When I get to the point where the installation is telling me that I have only one partition, and that I can press 'D' to delete it, 'C' to create a new partition, none of these options, (C nor D) are available. I can install another copy of OS besides the older one. Which occupies more hard-drive real estate. Is there a setting in BIOS that I have to change? Thanks anyone.
