I don't think fdisk is available in XP.
Format can be used in a CMD box.

What are you trying to do?

What are you trying to do? If you want to load another 98/Me and get rid of
XP, see the link below.
Be warned, that if you do, you will not get support from HP until the system
is restored to the original shipped state.
Click on or copy and paste the link below into your web browser address box.
Remove XP and install 98/Me

With fdisk, you delete the non-dos partition if XP is using the NTFS file
system.
More format options.

I was just realy curious because I know theres no dos in xp that I can get
to without windows running. and no command prompt.

Yes I know that HP wouldn't give support if I did this, but the warranty is
timed out.

I am trying to learn more about commands.

Fdisk and Format have been replaced by 'Disk Management' tool which is
a GUI rather than text based. See Computer Management in
Administrative Tools.
