Hello! I'm new here. Just bought a computer the other day. Bought all the parts and a friend helped me put it together. Anyways I need help with getting started with the formatting and partitioning of my hard drive. I've used a XP boot floppy disk and it worked. I than downloaded "fdisk" and put that in. We partitioned the hard drive without any problems so we than exited when told and the computer stated that we now need to format. But for some reason it won't format. Everytime we go into C: drive and try and format it it says something about a "media file not reading drive C:" or something like that and gives me 3 options 1) Abort 2) Retry 3) Fail. Anyways if someone could get back to me and let me know it would be helpful.
