hi.

my previous post is an attempt to find out how to format c
drive while it is in use - because my boot disks won't
allow me to get to a command prompt without activating
windows2k and then the files are in use.

but i also have to know how to specify the proper ntfs
file system for the drive. do i have to specify data
clusters or anything? how do i do that?

thank you again for whatever help.

mike.

Try this:

Start / Help / Search tab / Type ntfs /
Double-click "convert a volume to NTFS".
