Hard drive/fdisk/format problem.

Hey guys

Ok in the process of trying to fix my internet problem I pretty much killed everything. So I'm trying to reinstall windows.

I have two drives in my computer. When it was working, the 20 gig was C and the 80 gig was D.

So I ran my boot disk and and tried to fdisk and format. It's letting my run both on the C drive, but doesn't even let me choose to run them on the D drive. When I do Format D: I get one of two things, it either tells me that I can't format a network drive (whatever that means) or that format is not supported by drive D. So It's not letting me erase the drive so that I can reinstall windows (it was almost full).

And with Fdisk...it's giving me probs too. There's a primary partition and an extended partition. I was trying to delete both. It lets me delete the primary partition, but when I try to delete the extended partition it says that it can't be done while logical drives (?) exist. But then when I go to try to find the logical drive or delete it, it says there aren't any. So it is quite a vicious circle you see.

Anyway I'm at a loss. Any help greatly appreciated!

 

Go back into fdisk, remove all NON-DOS partitions, then it will let you remove logical, extended, etc.
This will also remove the "networked disk" error.

 

You could try Delpart, it will delete partitions that you do not want.
